[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1097037, member: 30007"] Your company probably feels that they've already made reasonable adjustments in providing you with time and space to allow for injecting and glucose testing, plus the time to become acclimatised to your diagnosis by temporarily stabilising your shift patterns. I have no idea about your employment contract, but I suspect part of the reason that they are unwilling to make this change is because the occy health team have already said that it's not necessary. It then becomes a case of one rule for you (and if you've mentioned about your family situation, then it will be registered as a change for personal reasons, not medical reasons) and one for everyone else, which I'm afraid no company is going to sign up to. Sadly, as an employee, there are very few companies that you can hold to ransom over medical conditions. If you aren't happy with what they are offering you, then I'd agree with others. Look at what else is available and make sure you have something else lined up that fits you better, rather than storm out and hand in your notice. [/QUOTE]
