James, 39, from Durham has been given time off work after having problems with his eyesight.
He was recently diagnosed with diabetes and says working from home has led to an unhealthy lifestyle.
"My eyesight was badly affected because blood sugar levels were so high. I couldn't really look at screens, so couldn't do work properly."
He also says it can be difficult to set up a work desk correctly at home. "In an office, someone sets up the chair properly, they have screens that protect eyes. There are more precautions."
Eyesight, fair enough.He was recently diagnosed with diabetes and says working from home has led to an unhealthy lifestyle.

I’ve never had a chair set up for me in 25 years.
At home I have the luxury of desk sharing with the wife who works for a private company that provide screens, keyboards, mice ergonomic and a decent chair.
Last place we had to hot desk at a meeting table with waiting room type chairs and just our laptops to work on.
Somebody my wife manages just got signed off for four weeks for 'low mood'. We were joking at work today that some of us grumpy fkers might never have to work again.
Some people will play the system regardless of if it's physical or mental. Always going to be hard to separate from genuinely ill people.

You don’t have to be fat to have high blood sugars.
Alongside that, having consistently high blood sugars normally does lead to dramatic weight loss.

I can't see why the taxpayer should be the backstop for the failure to manage his work environment or his disease.
If he's so incapable that a job sitting on his arse and looking at a screen is beyond him, putting him on the sick will see him leave the workforce until he claims his state pension if he lives that long.
There should be some responsibility for the employer and him to work together to address his health and performance issues before they both throw him onto state charity.
