[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1419825, member: 32394"] As a type 1 diabetic you are disabled under the equality act. Your employer has an obligation to make reasonable adjustments to accommodate your disability. A reasonable adjustment would be letting you inject at your desk, or letting you use a spare room. Building a spare room especially for you probably goes a bit above and beyond reasonable. If there is no spare room, inject at your desk. It's perfectly possible to inject while wearing smart work wear without flashing your pants at anyone. If your wearing suits it's easy to get at your abdomen by pulling your top up. If your in a dress use the top of your thighs as the injection site. If your constantly wearing tailored dresses that you can't inject through or move around to enable an injection then you probably need to think about making adjustments to your wardrobe. [/QUOTE]
