Diabetes-Related Discrimination at Workplace and by Insurances

NCT00661908 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 509

Summary

Diabetic subjects often report of problems at the workplace or when contracting insurances because of their diabetes.

By distributing a self-report questionnaire to insulin-treated Type 1 and Type 2 diabetic subjects we wanted to analyse the frequency of work- and insurance-related discrimination. Furthermore we wanted to detect socio-demographic and diabetes-related factors which are associated with increased discrimination at workplace and by insurances. We hypothesized that diabetes-related discrimination at workplace and by insurances exists and that certain factors like having severe hypoglycaemic events, being type 1 diabetic or being overweight would be associated with more problems at work or with insurances.
