All these protections in H&S and disability discrimination law have limitations in given circumstances.  But a thought did occur - why not turn it round? Inform your employer that, as you cannot take your phone with you into these places, you now pose an unassessed health and safety risk in that you cannot monitor your BG and may hypo without being aware of it. That would be a risk to you and others.  Your health condition is a protected characteristic, so the employer should not penalise you, because you are following their rules. It of course depends on your employer being reasonable, and that can't be taken for granted.</blockquote>
