[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2152522, member: 451727"] I agree with every other poster but would go one further. What they should be doing is allowing you the time to manage and check your glucose levels to STOP or avoid you getting to the stage where you are hypoing, never mind telling you to go off somewhere else to take your life saving medicine when it's practically too late because you are in a busy environment. They are a large company and if you haven't already then you need to contact HR and force them to write you up a personal plan that allows you to be able to check your glucose levels at certain intervals (say every 2 hours) AND whenever you need to such as when you feel you might be low, etc. It is disgraceful that some faceless bosses who clearly have NO knowledge of insulin & diabetes have said No. It's against the law, would they say to someone with a nut allergy who had come into contact with nuts, 'Go away and use your epi pen somewhere else'. Also, you are in a dangerous environment working with hot liquid, do they want you to throw it over the customers or scald yourself? This makes me very angry on your behalf but you must stick up for yourself and educate them because they are WRONG. They have a duty of care for you and they are clearly not following it. x [/QUOTE]
