I hurt myself on the job and when I did I had to go in and have emergency surjery to have my pitutary gland removed. After it was removed they told me I had diabtes something I never had. When I left my company they stopped paying for the medication I was on. Now that I have diabetes my life has changed drastically and my body keeps changing all the time. Can I go back becuase of what I've been through and how everything is changed for me. I need to stay on this medication for life.

diabetes is a condition that is built up over time. you can't sue your company for a condition that you may have been prone to get due to poor health, eating habits or just outright laziness.
removing your pituitary gland will not cause you to get diabetes. You probably had diabetes but never knew it until they did the operation to remove your gland.
Sorry, but the company is only responsible for an injury you sustained while on the job and if you leave your job, your next job should provide you health coverage.
