Greetings. This is my first post. My husband was diagnosed with Diabetes 4 days ago. On our first doctor visit, we brought FMLA papers because since he was diagnosed, he's been out of work because of excessively high blood sugar readings and pain/discomfort. (And I've been out a day or two caring for him) The doctor said he (we) wouldn't qualify for FMLA b/c diabetes is an ongoing condition that affects a huge part of the population. That doesn't make any sense to me. I really don't want my husband to lose his job b/c of him missing work due to diabetes. Should I get a 2nd opinion? Does a doctor have the right to deny him (us) FMLA?
