Diabetes

Diabetes is a condition where the body's ability to regulate the level of blood sugar is affected. The eyes, feet and nerves can be affected. Some people may also experience hypoglycaemia.

Note: Although disablement must be caused by a physical or mental health condition, it is the needs and difficulties that result which will determine entitlement rather than the condition itself. As a result, whilst the case law below may be of assistance, it will be important to also look at the case law relating to the activities and issues that affect you too.
