    • 29 CFR §1630(j)(1). Factors involved in determining whether or not the impairment is "significantly restricting" include the nature and severity of the impairment, its duration or expected duration, and any permanent or long-term impact that the impairment may have on the individual. 29 CFR §1630.2(j). The regulations also contemplate what might be considered a "major life activity" for the purposes of the Act. Such activities include "caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, and working." 29 CFR §1630.2(j).

    • Despite the court's ruling in that regard, the case was still remanded to the district court, because the court found that the plaintiffs diabetes, even fully treated, could very well still substantially limit his ability to perform the major life activity of working. It is also worth noting that the Sixth Circuit's opinion with regard to the "mitigating measures" issue, as expressed in Gilday, was laid out in the concurring opinion of Chief Judge Kennedy. Judge Moore, who authored the court's opinion for the remainder of the case, advocated adopting the EEOC's interpretive guidelines on the issue.

    • In any case, the court noted that it was not consulting the legislative history to interpret the statute, but was doing so "because that is the basis for the agency's [EEOC's] interpretation, and the court is to evaluate the reasoning behind the agency's interpretation to determine how much deference to give that agency interpretation."
