Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

I work for a small retail company with less than 15 employees. My employer will not let me have a lunch break and I work 8 to 9 hours a day. I have Type 1 diabetes, can I insist on a lunch break without being fired? My employer says they are not required to provide lunch breaks.
