I have had diabetes(type 1) for almost 20 years.
Whenever I have applied to a job there’s the question are you disabled? I have always put no and never read what all is covered as a disability until recently and diabetes is on the long list of what’s covered.
Things are slowing down at work and management is starting to get nit-picky and I’ve been getting talked to recently about checking my blood sugar or taking insulin(5-10 minute gaps in my work activity). I tell them I had to take care of my diabetes and then I get told make sure I tell someone. I work in a giant warehouse and most of the time I have to hunt down management and I feel like it’s unsafe to spend the time looking for them versus just going and getting it taken care of.
How should I approach my bosses/HR about this?
My job and my bosses have known I’m diabetic since the interview process and I’ve been at my job for 2 years. It’s only started to be a problem the last 2-3 months.
