[QUOTE="ros, post: 90507, member: 3071"] I felt I had been discriminated against by a previous employer. I desperately wanted to move out of the section I was on as I had to stay in a small room all day with no windows, counting lots of money. I was under huge amounts of stress and suffered with awful ibs the whole time i was there. I was diagnosed with hearing loss and diabetes and thought great here's my chance to escape ! Oh no,occupational health get involved and decide I'm unsuitable for any other job in the company. So, I stupidly say oh i've had a hypo, don't think I should be in here on my own, eventually 9 months later they find another dept for me to work in. Too late I've got a job on a farm, no mention of illness, just carry on feeling great, working alone excellent control and no occupational health stress. Ever since, I do not disclose that I'm diabetic or have hearing loss( good lipreader) I just can't take the risk of being discriminated against, as it's always in the back of my mind. Ros [/QUOTE]
