I really waited to comment on this post and couldn't quite think of how I wanted to say this, because my feelings on it are not very inspirational. If people read down the post maybe they'll see it. People are prejudiced against diabetics. They're prejudiced against sick people. Bosses are prejudiced against anyone that might make their jobs more difficult or cost them some kind of productivity that will reflect poorly upon them. If you tell coworkers, some will turn right around and use it to stab you in the back. We all know those irritating stories people always tell us about their relatives that were horrible diabetics. If you're doing your job better than the person next to you, they'll tell that story about their relative to your boss to create fear, uncertainty and doubt about you and to make it seem like you will be a liability at some point. I think the best comment floated to the top, but there were a few that seemed to look at the world through rose colored glasses. Maybe a more youthful perspective. If you can, I think it's best to keep it to yourself until long after you've proven yourself, gotten to know people on an individual basis and gotten your health insurance. It sucks, but when it comes down to it, being diabetic is seen by most people as a weakness, and people will use it against you if they need to whether it's true or not. They may admire your strength and performance with the problem you have, but they don't even really understand the problem you have as we make light of so often on here. I would not depend on someone interpreting your situation correctly whether boss or coworker. If you have serous problems with hypos that cause you to need assistance, then I guess you have to tell someone, but this might not work out well for you. Just trying to be honest.
