The Americans with Disabilities Act requires employers to make "reasonable" accommodations. While not all diabetics would fit the definition of "disabled," you could certainly ask for the accommodation. An employment law firm might draft a letter for you to give to your manager. That letter should also include something from your doctor describing what accommodation is necessary. A copy of the letter should go to someone higher up the chain of command. If your employer does not agree to this accommodation you will have a much better case for employment discrimination. Also, you could contact the New Jersey Human Rights Commission, but I would try the letter first. Feel free to email me privately if you have any questions. I'm not an attorney, but I work in the employment law field. Good luck.
Best wishes for your good health.
