I am so thankful that Friday has arrived, even though the calendar says Friday, the 13th, I don't care. This has certainly been a long week with late nights and back to work early the next morning. So today, I'm pulling some information from the American Diabetes Association Facebook page. This is Fact Check Friday, where I will debunk a common misconception about diabetes. To learn more about this fact, you may visit www.diabetes.org
MYTH: People with diabetes can't perform certain jobs.
FACT: As a diabetic, you have rights, and federal laws prohibit discrimination against workers with diabetes.
Have you ever been denied a quick break to check your blood sugars or to take medication? Have you ever been forced to quit your job or were fired because of your diabetes? I would love to hear your stories and how you handled the situation. Please share.
