Abstract
Our results suggest that medical decisions of temporary or permanent incapacity for work seemed to be taken more often in the case of employees with diabetes. In most cases, the occupational practitioners' decisions were not solely justified by the diabetes but by the coexistence of complications or comorbidities. This last argument, associated with an increased risk to be on sick leave for a long period, stresses the importance of preventive actions in diabetes. However, diabetic employees do not seem to present a higher risk of occupational accidents.
