[QUOTE="tigger, post: 315387, member: 11023"] Scoop4 - why do you think it's instant dismissal not to tell? I agree if you receive a medical form asking you to fill it out and answer honestly then not doing so may be grounds for dismissal. But for the vast majority of jobs which are not impacted by diabetes (excluding emergency services or others where licences are needed which diabetics have trouble getting) then I don't see why you need to raise it at an interview. Diabetes counts as a disability and you are protected under disability discrimination but why put yourself in that position? I don't believe my type 1 diabetes affects my ability to do my job and therefore it is irrelevant to my employer and private to me. I disclose it on medical forms but they have only come after I've received my job offer at which point if it's withdrawn it would be direct discrimination. [/QUOTE]
