[QUOTE="JMK1954, post: 2212732, member: 352098"] I have always told employers I was a type 1 on insulin, but have routinely told any colleagues I worked with as well. I would rather explain myself than leave it to others who know a lot less about it and may make assumptions that are inaccurate, or forget to mention something of importance. Is there somebody responsible for First Aid at the place where you are volunteering ? Perhaps you could provide a printed sheet for them, as to how you deal with your diabetes and what they may need to do in an emergency to help you. You could also give your employer a copy to keep with your records just in case. Just a suggestion. [/QUOTE]
