Hi and welcome
You don't need to inform them unless it significantly affects your ability to do the daily tasks
I also have diabetes and the main things it would affecr is taking medication and eating regular
Unless you have any long term side effects like sight loss or neuropathy
Telling them will start off a new assessment process0 -
