Our community has given you the best advice for this. Call the ADA at 1-800-DIABETES (1-800-342-2383) and ask to speak to a legal advocate. That is the best way to get started with this. Good luck!

There are protection for diabetics you may need to call a lawyer they would know and they would not charge you for that info. That would be diabetic discrimnation and I doubt they want a big lawsuit on there hands. You could call the ADA and get an idea from them.
