[QUOTE="petrichor, post: 320768, member: 47177"] God Bless the Unions :D This story is disgusting! My brother and I are both diabetic and I remeber when he was in school one of the teachers took his sweets off him in class and threw them in the bin. He flew for the teacher in a blind rage, and luckily his mates held him back and got the sweets out of the bin. They told the teacher in no uncertain terms he was diabetic and hypo. This was the early 90's and things changed massively by the time i was at school. I had to tell every new teacher I had, that I was diabetic, and I got out of class 5 mins early for lunch every day to check blood and do insulin :mrgreen: I would stick with the unions on this one, and if you don't get much joy, I'd be going to the police with Disability hate crime - if that had been an asthmatic goin to get an inhaler, or someone with angine needing GTN spray, they wouldnt have stopped them?? or maybe they would! Either way, it'd be a manslaughter case rather than this :shock: among the things you might want, are training and awareness to all employees about the equality act, diabetes and hypos and respect at work! Hope it all goes well [/QUOTE]
