I am really surprised at the comments here on this topic. There was great controversy over whether ADA (the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990) would cover diabetes. After all many diabetics are able to perform their jobs without any accomodations throughout their careers, so how is that a disability. I commend our government for finally doing the right thing (generally). As a diabetic your have some clear protections under ADA and everyone should be clearly aware of these protections. Make sure you read the fact sheet from the EEOC on diabetes
Questions and Answers About Diabetes in the Workplace and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Not everyone with diabetes necessarily will be covered by ADA, but every diabetic has certain protections against being discriminated against because of diabetes, and we have a right to reasonable accomodations.
