[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2252988, member: 451727"] Hi there, specifically with regard to your diabetes, I note you are type 2 on diet only. I suspect your Employers do NOT consider this as a disability under the Disability Act so as far as they are concerned you are just like everyone else (there are probably others also with health conditions at your work soldiering on without breaks, which of course is WRONG under any work legislation, you might be better off all getting together and addressing this issue collectively). Can you tell us exactly what adjustments you are demanding they make (outside of the regular lunch breaks which legally you should of course get)? For example, a type 1 would have to be allowed to inject insulin or take more time to test for and treat hypo's etc. As has been said by many of us now, you must get full support from a Medical Practitioner (in a written report) to give to your Employer that states WHY you need this and that and what the affect may be if you don't get it, otherwise your work will continue to ignore you. Are you on any other medication that may affect you in some way? x [/QUOTE]
