[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1768830"] That's an interesting way of describing it. I tend to say that diabetes is covered by the disability discrimination act. Some may say that's just syntax but I don't like to describe myself as disabled: for me, diabetes does not stop me doing what I want. Looking at the definition of disability from the DDA: "physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on your ability to carry out normal day- to- day activities.": it surprises me that diabetes is covered.
