[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1371366, member: 88961"] I think your challenges would be around your pension, as 47 is quite a significantly early retirement, with 26 years service. From discussion with someone I sometimes attend meetings with, I understand a little about the working lifestyle of a police officer of a similar rank to yourself. He retired a couple of years ago, and was diagnosed T2 not long afterwards. Whilst he was then overweight and had a few other markers, he is certain his job drove some lifestyle behaviours that were certainly not helping his health. I can't think any employer would be interested in offering anyone medical retirement on the basis of their treatment becoming insulin based, unless their occupational conditions excluded insulin dependent diabetics. Even some of those only exclude at the point of recruitment. How long have you been insulin dependent and what insulin regime are you on? Some regimes offer far more flexibility than others. Secondly, how long have you been diabetic, in total? [/QUOTE]
