People with diabetes registered as disabled face employment challenges, with significantly fewer working. However, registered disabled individuals with diabetes can be effective employees, and registration may enhance job prospects.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Occupational Health
  • Diabetes Management

Background:

  • Limited research exists on the intersection of diabetes and disability, particularly concerning employment.
  • Understanding employment barriers and facilitators for individuals with diabetes and registered disability is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the employment status and characteristics of people with diabetes registered as disabled in the UK.
  • To compare employment and sickness absence rates between registered disabled and non-registered disabled individuals with diabetes.
  • To gather employer perspectives on employing individuals with diabetes and registered disability.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire survey was conducted among people with diabetes (aged 17-65) in the UK.
  • A separate questionnaire was sent to a random sample of employers.

  • Demographic, social, and employment data were collected and compared between registered disabled and non-registered disabled diabetic patients.

    • Main Results:

    • Significantly fewer registered disabled individuals with diabetes were employed (30%) compared to non-registered individuals (65%).
    • Registered disabled diabetic patients were more likely to be older, of lower social class, renters, have left school early, and reside in northern England.
    • No significant difference in sickness absence (over 20 days/year) was found between registered disabled and non-registered disabled diabetic employees; employers reported no adverse sickness rates.

    Conclusions:

    • People with diabetes who are registered as disabled can be valuable employees across various occupations.
    • Registration as disabled may improve employment opportunities for individuals with diabetes facing job-seeking difficulties.
    • Further research and supportive policies are needed to address employment disparities for this population.
