[QUOTE="DaveThompson, post: 1206392, member: 309892"] Hi all. I have seen quite f ew threads here relating to work problems. Well I have some too. I was suspended in late June for poor performance, relating to remembering facts and following procedures in the last couple of months.. Work have now invited me to a hearing but as far as I can see have made no real attempt to establish if the issues were illness related. I was only diagnosed type 2 on 1st July so the issues occurred when I was not being treated and with bloods of 107 according to my HbA1c. They are fully aware of my condition and have been since I found out. The only thing that has happened is a phone call to a case manager who then spoke to a Doctor in the company. No proper examination or meeting with anyone medically trained. Their report is firmly based on future performance and not at all concerned with my existing condition untreated and without any medication. I am thinking that this is not in accordance with DDA or as it is now the Equality policy as they have not established that my mistakes are not related to my condition. Everything I have read indicates that executive function, memory, concentration etc are linked to t2d(m). Clearly I don't want to lose my job, but am seriously concerned that this could be a way of pushing me out. Can anyone help or give me something positive ? [/QUOTE]
