Work and employment

The following information is designed to
help you gain a basic understanding of
your employment rights if you have
diabetes. In particular, it provides
guidance about employment equality law,
applying for jobs and managing your
diabetes at work. Whether you're taking
your first step onto the job ladder or
looking to change jobs, it's important to
show recruiters that you're the best
person for the job, regardless of your
diabetes.
