[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2152056, member: 53162"] Hi and welcome [USER=355678]@Pinkpixie[/USER] As a type 1 you have rights within the workplace under the disability act, which means your employer needs to make reasonable allowances to ensure you can manage your condition in the workplace. So on this basis if you were to have a hypo how would you normally look after yourself and have you agreed anything with your employer in regards to this ? They should be aware that keeping something near to hand is vital for your well being so you are not being unreasonable in asking for this. I use glucotabs instead of snacks as they can be kept in a round water tight container, and are quick and easy to consume, I have done some bar work with a friend at festivals and kept them in my apron, any sign of a hypo and I disappear quietly somewhere to treat until well enough to continue.
