I have "declared" my diabetes during the interview stage for every job I've ever had, with the exception of the first ... I found out about my diabetes due to the "job medical" i had to take prior to commencement.

I've never had a problem with flexibility to attend medical appointments; but I do have to keep an eye on time-keeping as there is no special allowance for lateness caused by the diabetes.

In my current post, I've been promoted four times in three years ... so I doubt my diabetes has been a barrier in any way!
