Wellness screening

Type 1 and LADA

At some point we have to move past the paranoia that Whitey is out to fire us for being diabetic. All the legal protections before the wellness program, are still there after the wellness program.

Don’t we have to move on? I mean, yeah, I was fired from my first job 30 years ago for being T1, but that doesn’t mean society hasn’t progressed a lot since then.



Doesn’t acting like the stigma is still as strong as it was 30 or 40 years ago, just prolong the stigma? By being “out of the closet” aren’t we doing something to make it easier for everyone who will follow us?

Well all my worry was for nothing, even though I did not pass all the wellness screening tests, I was still okay and my rates went down a tiny bit, but I think I heard someone say the deductibles went up, but still I was not dinged for my results.
