I don't think that would be an issue. Like the poster above me said, if you can control it very well with whatever accomodation you may need, you should be able to work there. Plus, with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, they cannot turn you down because of your diabeties. Don't misunderstand me here, that doesn't mean they cannot turn you down because you're not qualified and it has nothing to do with the ADA. Now, I don't know how this would work, but if you wanted to work in the field, that may be limited. But that doesn't mean you wouldn't be able to do other things other than just being in a desk. Don't be afraid to explore your possibilities and don't think you'd just be stuck at a desk job if that's not what you want. But, please make sure you take care of yourself and don't be afraid to assert yourself when needed.
