[QUOTE="conniecar, post: 2258912, member: 188016"] So glad I found this question - thank you. I’ve been type 1 for 44 years and also have an under active thyroid and coeliac disease. I’m the library manager in a big secondary school with an HBA1c lurking around 7.3. I was told to go home initially and work doing whatever. Our school is old and ‘grubby’ at best. I’m currently in a bit of battle with my employer as he contravened my rights by trying to sack me for time off (with a sick note )with diabetes related matters, including appointments or very occasional seizures ( am also epileptic on medication ). The union want me to launch a grievance for bullying but to be honest I don’t want the stress. Anyway.....that aside I want to feel confident that measures are in place before I go back. There’s no hand wash and the water in the taps is too hot for a 20 second wash. I’d like to be back but am also not confident that the government are sending the right message to employers about diabetics. My boss said I wasn’t employable due to me potentially having ‘funny do’s’ ( not that funny ) so I don’t want to give him the opportunity to sack me over this. Thank you - stay safe x [/QUOTE]
