Thanks, Car and Bashir. That's what I thought, but it's good to have this
forum to set our minds at rest!

and his employer
Hi Jane
As far as I'm aware (and I may be wrong), tribunals don't set legal
precedents and each individual case is judged on it's own merits. And it
says that his type 2 diabetes required no treatment so maybe that was
why the DDA didn't apply at that time. However that ruling only applies
to that particular case and is not a indication of how other rulings
would go.

I looked up this reference to Hinton v Copal Castings and was interested
to note that diabetes is only counted as a disability if it is type 1
diabetes. I had always been led to believe that type 2 diabetes was also
a disability, because of the consequences if medication was not taken
regularly.
Is there now case law to determine that type 2 diabetes does not
constitute a disability under the DDA? I suppose it makes little
difference anyway, as there would not need to be any significant
adjustments, but I would like to know for my own peace of mind.

Hi James,
Was it the Hinton v Copal Castings case?
