    Yep. Me too.
    I had to take a physical and I sit at a desk all day.

    I went in for it last month (have worked there part time for 2 years and my patience paid off and just got on full time) and was told he thought I was diabetic. He circled "No" on cleared to work. I have 90 days to follow up, get tested and if positive to get on a treatment plan or I'm out the door. I assume this is because of insurance reasons.

    One of his questions was do I smoke. I explained that I have a cigar or pipe 3-4 times a week. He made a note of it and said that they do distinguish between cigarette and cigar/pipe smokers. He didn't bitch at me at all, which kind of surprised me.

    He did tell me to lose 50 pounds but hell, I already knew I need to do that.
