hi there
just need to chat to someone who understands what my son is going through
my son was not feeling to good for a couple of months so told him to go to doctors
told them about what was wrong with himself and they tested him for diabetes
came back as type 1 diabetes ... was a shock to him and us aswell
told his workplace about this straight away spoke to a manager so he could inform the managment team aswell
was put on tablets for 1st month but started geting cramps in his stomach told him to get back to the doctors
he went back on friday 18th may and was sent straight to hospital as his urine sample was 27.5
was told at the hospital the tables were not helping and put on insulin (4 x a day)
when he came home in the afternoon from the hospital he called his workplace and updated them on what was going on
spoke to the senior manager and was told that he and his managment team were not told of his diabetes by the other manager
other manager not made a record of it on personal file ether
then my son went to work on monday 21st may he starts at 11 oclock till 7 oclock day shift
spoke to both managers and was told they would not change his hours
only wanted to do a 9.00 - 5.30 shift ... just move it 2 hours to help him try and get some structure to things
on a friday my son starts work at 8 and works till 7
was told by them they will let him have a 5 min to take his insulin and he could do this in the toilets
they allso told him he has to show them what he has to do .... far as i new they could not inject my son with a needle as they are not doctors ???
i worked for this company myself for 8 years and had to have an op on my kidney 15 years ago
was handeled alot different then by previous managment team
if i needed something .... they would do it no ifs or butts
i am amazed that such a huge company as they are and market leader in there field is so not intrested in my sons health needs
next step human resoures ... head office ....
any help or info would be a help to me on his rights at work
thanks for reading my post feel a bit better now after getting it of my chest
thankyou gary
