Baby C.....I'm a T1 and back when I was working, I talked to my manager about the hypos that I was having and he told me to do what I had to do to correct the problem.... so I had no problem with management....my problem came from my co-workers.....they'd see me in the break room having a soda with sugar and think I was taking a break..... there were alot of situations that stemmed from what they thought.
Not on my behalf but on behalf of a cashier that worked at a grocery store I shopped at, I did call the ADA and asked about diabetics in the work force and what could be done for those diabetics that weren't allowed breaks for medical purposes and they basically told me what Mary shared with you above. The management/store has no legal obligation to provide extra breaks or anything. It's up to each individual store and management to provide such breaks if they choose to. I also asked this director of the local ADA office that I called if he or anyone else in their office was diabetic and he said, "no." blew my hair back....anyway...sheryl asked some pertinent questions if you'd care to share anymore with us.....we're hear to listen and help if and where we can.....Peace,Cheryl
