[QUOTE="BeccyB, post: 1097024, member: 196557"] I think that the 'reasonable adjustments' for diabetics are normally concerned with being able to keep supplies nearby or being allowed to eat when/wherever if you hypo. Worrying about your girlfriend's condition definitely wouldn't be considered under this anyway as the worry is nothing to do with your own disability - otherwise all our families/friends could be demanding adjustments. As [USER=211504]@TorqPenderloin[/USER] says, the issue is that by law they would not need to consider these adjustments. However many of us are lucky enough to have employers that go above and beyond the legal requirements. Sometimes it's just not realistic for employers to make changes just for one person though. The other option, if you're worried about timing of basal doses though, is to see if you would qualify for an insulin pump - I think I've read somewhere that shift patterns can be considered when trying to get one funded (anyone know if I've imagined this??)
