[QUOTE="duranie, post: 2171784, member: 9816"] I would have to point out that I have a medical condition that is covered by the 2010 Equality Act and that if the person is that squeamish it might be best that they either stop looking at you all the time or maybe change where they sit in the office. Your employer cannot demand you leave the room to test, say for example you suddenly feel hypo, getting up and walking to leave the room could make you pass out, or worse. No, you need to be able to test as much as you need. And when you need. And your employer needs to understand this isn’t about you being stroppy it’s a medical necessity. Maybe let them know what the consequences of not testing in the event of low blood sugars could be and ask how Mr/Mrs Squeamish might feel if you passed out in front of them. [/QUOTE]
