He really went for me, telling me I could get sacked & don’t ever do that again! Honestly it was so upsettingI didn’t have to tell him, I just thought I’d do the decent thing & mention it (being honest)Then later on a particular colleague who has made remarks (more than once about my diabetes) was walking up the aisle, making a face as though he was weak/going to pass out (basically mocking me) I am sick of thisI carried on working when I could have just left the shop floor to get over my hypo Has anyone got any advice please?Thank you</blockquote>
