[QUOTE="JLowes, post: 1758629, member: 26758"] Hi I am a type 1 diabetic and have been for nearly 50 years. The attitudes and comments I have encountered in most if not all of my working life is horrendous. I have been spoken to like a child and my last job I have just resigned from due to the harassment and bullying I received when asking for unpaid leave for my hospital appointments. I was told I had to take holidays for these appointments and ultimately I had to bring in a Union rep then I was finally given the unpaid leave that I originally requested. I was laughed at by my manager for having the text on my computer screen larger than normal due to issues with eyes. I feel like I have had to fight for my entitlement with large as well as small companies. It is not easy having diabetes and it is made extremely difficult if you get an employer that does not understand or cares. [/QUOTE]
