Message: <blockquote data-quote="ebony321" data-source="post: 202461" data-attributes="member: 17199">It's terrible that someone would be held back from promotion because of an illness, personally if the company i worked for made it clear i would not progress because i had diabetes it's not really a company i would wish to work for at all, and wouldn't deserve the hard work and dedication that diabetes can teach you!!In the company i am currently working for i have never been held back because i have an illness, there are colleagues who have epilepsy and fibromyalgia, they have never been penalised either. It's basically discrimination to do that based on illness such as it is to hinder someone on age, sex or race. If my line manager spoke to me regarding my diabetes in that way i would find legal help.There's no reason why you can't continue to be yourself with any diagnosis. Things change all the time during life, things knock you down and it's hard, but aslong as you get back up then it doesn't matter.I agree some people within the medical profession do need a good kick up the bum, but lets remember those who help people treat and cure illness, those who save lives and dedicate their time and knowledge to research into things like diabetes, cancer and other illnesses to improve peoples lives everyday <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />There are some gem's out there, Hopefully you and your wife will stumble upon one too <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
