I don't consider myself disabled and as far as I'm aware diabetes itself isn't a disablity, maybe some of the complications like limb loss or blindness. Perhaps I should check it out I may be able to get a better parking space next time (kidding, mental face slap for being so shallow). As I was a mere 18 at the time of the bacon incident I wasn't savvy enough to do anything about it. It was a job packing bacon anyay, not worth making a fuss over - but if it happened to me now I would definitely raise the flag. When I was recruited into the MOD I declared all my illnesses and they hired me telling me that I would not be allowed to retire on ill health grounds as I was more likley to need to, I shall fight this if ever it becomes necessary. They have also been difficult over giving me time off to dialyse (which I didn't need until I'd been there for 6 years already, without a day off sick) which I'm very pissed off about so I work full time and spend about 15 hours a week travelling and dialysing to give them their pound of flesh.
