[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2396117, member: 451727"] My view is that no matter what the 'rules' are, the LAST thing they would want is the poster collapsing on the floor, unconscious, near any animals. The chaos of an ambulance being called and a 'situation' declared would be far more problematic than allowing [USER=409636]@Lulu9101112[/USER] to carry her glucose tablets. Besides which (if in the UK) they have to make reasonable adjustments under the disability Act. It's not easy to make a fuss at work (volunteer or not) but it really is a question of seriously harming yourself if you are going hypo and nothing is being done about it or even harming others if you are in a position where you are not able to carry out your responsibilities because you are hypo. There seems to be a lot of 'I can't this because of that' going on but the fact is you HAVE to address it or the only alternative would be to leave the job, not an option you would wish I'm sure and any employer would have to explain why they were unable to accommodate you. x [/QUOTE]
