Hi Baby C , sounds like you may have experenced some problems at work  because of your diabeteis..I hate hear things like that..manly because there is really you can do about it.
 
I know a couple of people here at one time another experienced some difficulty with getting breaks to have a snack break or have their meals at a certain time. I know you really can't fight them..you can explain to your Supervisor or upper Management your situation that you have to have breaks & a regular schedule for your lunch because of your diabeties and time to check you sugar levels & so forth ..hope they will be understanding..but thats about as far as it goes. If you are fired you can take it to ? can't remember the Government Agency that handles work realated complants? but they really don't do anything. It's not fair at all  but thats the way it is.
 
I myself never had any problems at work. I had been working for the company for just about 21 years when I was diagnosed with type 2 diabeties , I worked 4 more years before taking early retirement.
 
I hope things work out for you at your job.
 
Maryb
