[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2252382, member: 451727"] Thanks for replying. The best thing you can do is to get a Drs note when you go sick and get the Doctor to record that your sickness is diabetes related if of course the Dr thinks it is, most Employers won't take the word of the employee and I can understand why. In my experience, Drs do not like to do this but if your Dr is happy to say 'yes, this person is off as a direct result of diabetes' then it is something that your Employer cannot/should not ignore. Maybe record yourself exactly what it is that YOU would like your Employers to do and what adjustments YOU think should be made. If nothing else this can force them to record their replies (or lack of action) and if it comes to it, may help you take the matter further if appropriate. The problem is that type 2 per se isn't automatically classed as a disability (the links above are good to read) so maybe get your Consultant on your side too. My work for example expect me to control my condition to a large extent so if for example, I try to go off sick with 'high glucose levels' all the time they would want to discuss my general management and possibly get a report from my Doctor. x [/QUOTE]
