| I don't like all the lawsuit talk - lawsuits rarely accomplish what you desire. Lawsuits usually end up doing harm in many other ways. Take this attitude - it is your health, you gotta manage it, don't expect the employer to make special rules for anyone, or else they will need to make special rules for everyone.
I would just abide the rules of the company - in appearance (you gotta do whatcha gotta do - just don't broadcast it). If/when you need something, don't be blatant about your "fix" of the low that occurs. Just manage it like anyone else. I never let anyone know anything - not in 33 years. It is my problem and I don't expect anyone else to handle it for me. If/when I am gone to a very low hypo - well, then it may become someone else's problem. That has only happened at home, at night, so far... except for this incident...
One time I was hiking Long's Peak - a 14,000 ft peak in Colorado. I was thru the keyhole just below the summit and stopped and ate as much of my trail mix as I could get into me - in a hurry. Many other hikers passed by - I didn't feel like trying to make the summit, as I was feeling a bit frightened about the reality that I was in a condition that I could have fallen off the edge where I was resting and gobbled food - OOPS!!. That was 28 years ago - still here to tell the story, thankfully. I told nobody. I merely handled it as well as I could. Wonderful insulins those days - beef/pork lente... ahh... and testape.
Today - sometimes in the morning when I get to work, I see the white spots of death - low approaching. I break away from what I am doing and put some sugar in my coffee and be calm. White spots disappear, and then I can eat some more healthy food to assist in bringing the low back to where I need to be for working in an office.
Keep any "fix" needed hidden from the super. Don't push the issue - it isn't worth all the hassle you may cause yourself. If you don't like the rules - the super is correct - find a different place to earn money. Sure, the laws are on your side - you think. Test them - and you will find out, the rules are written for the people who own the money and do you no good in the end. Stay inside the rules - don't be testy with them. |
