[QUOTE="Louise5967, post: 80785, member: 19366"] This is so true- I have been a type 1 diabetic for 37 years and apart from disclosing my diabetes on a pre-employment medical form when I started at my current post 10 years ago I have never verbally spoken to my boss or colleagues about my diabetes. This is mainly due to the fact I actually work in Occupational Health and could not bare to be pitied or treated by all my work colleagues differently. This was proven last year when I was pregnant and had to tell my boss as I had so many umpteen appointments to attend and had no choice but to advise my boss. I kept being asked if I was OK and at a leaving party of another colleague was informed I better not have a piece of cake due to my condition !! I wish I'd kept quiet- I found it all very patronising especially as like most of us I constantly work on my control !! [/QUOTE]
