Message: <blockquote data-quote="catapillar" data-source="post: 1143184" data-attributes="member: 32394">You can ask for reasonable adjustments for your disability under the equality act. However, whether requiring a particular work pattern is a reasonable adjustment is debatable - you would need to check what you are contracted to work & consider if there are business needs that demand this shift pattern, if so it is less likely that not doing it would be considered a reasonable adjustment.Is there any reason you can't just inject at work? I take it you are on mixed insulin? Would you consider a move to basal bolus to allow you a bit more flexibility & thus to be able to do your job as scheduled?Edit no 1 to add - Nb) equality act applies to provide some protections from discrimination if you are diasbled in England & Wales. You are disabled if you are type 1, if you are type 2 it's a bit more of a grey area depending on the individual's condition & treatment. If you are a type 2 on insulin  I suspect you would be considered disabled for the purpose of the equality act.Edit no 2 - so many typos...</blockquote>
