i would assume that if you just explain to whoever that you have diabetes and that u take methadone, that they will understand, and if not, then just argue it. It should be easy to prove that you are diabetic. They will understand, don't worry.

I would not worry about what might happen ,deal with it when and if you have too.If it were too come up pos ask for a blood or hair follicle test.

i am ure the doctors are aware of this as well, so if anything alarming showed up they would take your medical condition in thought.

Hello all! I hope that everyone is doing well tonight. I am doing great and I don't say that much but things are going really good for me and I am so happy. The Lord got me through all dark times and now I am in light again and happiness.
Any who I went to clinic on Wednesday and I got worried over nothing. I spoke to my counslor and all is ok and they know I have diabetes so if I did get a pos they send off for a maspec (spelled wrong) to make sure what pos. was for sure. I am glad that I ask though.
