Medical

I met a girl who has diabetes, and is going for her FW. Has anyone had a problem getting their medical with diabetes, or someone who might know?

 

Thanks in advance-

If the diabetes can be controlled long-term with diet, there should be no problem. If she has to use insulin, it's not so easy. See the Virtual Flight Surgeons website for better information.

THANKS GOMER! I knew someone would have some info! Right ON!

 

I said the same thing about insulin, but she's on a pill. I think it'll work to her advantage.
