Have you said in your company that you are diabetic?

Well, I did not plan to say not because it was to be counterproductive with the direction of my company, but for not having to walk with advice or sermons of colleagues who do not even come to me, but the case is that the other day I forgotInsulin at home and I had to comment on Human Resources to be able to go home to prick, eat and then finish my day teleworking.They didn't put any problem.

The fact is that the doubt has emerged and I have tried to see if there was any topic talking about it, but I have not found more than some generic doubts and I would like to know if it is normal/usual to say it and why you opt for one position or another.

For example, we are going to have a workshop in which there is then a peck that you can stay or not, it is not mandatory, but I have said that not because food is not the healthiest, Canapés and fried type, in fact alreadyLast year I declined the offer for that, but I don't know if I should not notice that what they put is not suitable for a diabetic to correct it.But then I fear that they will not know what to put even if they think it is very healthy and almost I'm going to feel worse.

Or with breakfasts, which in 99% of those are almost a pastries that sugar up the clouds even clouds even clicking insulin of more.I know that everyone is clear that this type of food would not be suitable, but it is not even for a healthy person and still put it as the only option for everyone because it is more comfortable and economical.

I do not recommend anything to say it.

As already mentioned in several threads in this forum, having diabetes is a condition that is summarized in (generic, in average): "Ah that cannot be taken because it becomes very bad but clicks and clicks andThat way it is fine, although sometimes you can pass out, for the sugar thing. "

So although then there is everything, it is a man often stigmatizing, they see you different, it results in rumors, misunderstandings and conditioning.

Exactly, not to say it.Thanks to those who have made diabetes not to deduct, give a % disability, nor represent a fiscal advantage for companies.

There is no advantage and if many possibilities that entered a diabetic and one that is not, choose the other.In any job.

Do not say it in the first interview, because it will only bring you problems.

Unless it is a job where medical examination demands you ... and that is detected in the analytics.

After you are working you can already comment with trusted colleagues and give you more peace of mind.

But never stop going to company meals or meetings, or is isolation.If you don't eat anymore, you eat less, or you get faster or divide it into two, as it suits you.

Nor do they have to wear special food, control hydrates with insulin and enjoy the company.

You will already dominate it.

Let's see, if the problem is that if it were a meal of sitting and eating first, second and dessert, then I approve of them.But the croquettes, skewer, puff pastry peaks, puffs and others, in the end are all donkey hydrates that do not compensate for me.Come on, they did not compensate me before I was "only" to diet, as if to compensate for me while diet with insulin.

I have no problems.In fact, not as in the office because I am diabetic.

My colleagues and managers know it.

Breakfast on Fridays with them a coffee with soy as soon as possible in the canteen of the company.They bread with tomato or whatever.

To the company cocktail I did not have left, because of the temptation to eat what I should not, but we are going to be rectified with insulin.

In the job interview these things do not ask you, in this company I entered at the end of 2022. The only restriction they have put me is from prevention of occupational hazards when doing work at height, but that is not my case, mywork is office.

I have no problem because I am also a doctor and work in a health C, it would be more than going there as well.So I book about the comments of those who speak.The world of DB PQ is perfectly known among other things we deal with it daily.In addition, casualities of life, another medical partner also has DB type 1 since I was 5 years old and is 62 so we chat of it a lot.In the break if others take their breakfast, like I have breakfast at home, I have only a coffee but I don't miss the disconnection with my teammates.Last Friday I went to work food and had no problem.Several Canapés, ate the ones I saw better, then a fish that was very good and my dry white vinito, champagne and the cake, just a little piece.I thought I was going to get more about the account but that was not the case because I had to dance so I do not pass from 145. Everything is a matter of regulating things, I do not think that you have to give up meetings.

Alcohol is not doing well to this, not a drink.

The same as coffee.It doesn't do well.

Coffee does not affect me.Volume 2 or 3 a day.And alcohol does not affect me in glycemia, I take glasses of wine in some food, at most 3 and spaced.

In glycemia, but it induces glycation that it affects the liver, and in a diabetic the liver must be careful to the maximum.It is incredible as alcohol to the liver affects in general, but it is a social consensus drug.

Caffeine reduces blood flow to the brain although it has flavonoids and is antioxidant, it is vasoconstrictor and rises the tension.Another accepted drug that consumes 93% of the western population, which allows to be falsely alert, all because it deceives adenosine receptors.It goes very bad to the vague nerve in general and heart nerves

I didn't say anything in the interview but in recognition yes.The company is only suitable or not.I work in construction and I spend much of the day uploaded to a scaffold and making a lot of physical effort, so I have decided to say it to the classmates who work with me.

Hello, in the medical examination you can detect it, but the company only comes the "Apt".The rest of medical information is confidential.

I have spent six medical recognitions with them, before each contract ... and they have not caught me.

Glucose in less than 100 ... more mosque.

Urine without glucose.

And you pass without problems.

This is Spain.

I think it is not something that or if you have to say in the interview, just as you do not say that you have other things, as long as they do not condition the work being something physical for example.

But from there to hide it, or with a pussy. A disease is nothing to be ashamed and I think that in fact, hide it, it makes more stigmatize.

Understanding of course individual cases, and privileges or not of each 🫂

I referred to jobs that demand a very thorough medical examination.Plane pilots .. and I don't know if any more.Nor do those who do not have a perfect mink or a minimum height or very hard physical tests pass.

There are jobs that are not for everyone.

Let's see, I have been working for a long time in my company and I know they will not throw me to have diabetes.I was thinking of commenting when they ask that if someone has special needs with food, such as vegetarian or allergies.I would swear that when you fly, the diabetics option in the airline menus is also included, right?

In hospitals yes, but that would give for another topic 🤢 or perhaps not, perhaps to see what they put in a hospital if you are diabetic is the reason why I do not convince me to say it, they will not have an idea.

Thera, you can say that you change the dessert for fruit.And nobody cares why you prefer it like that. Hospitals are what they do.

You can also take your tupper with your cash.And now.
