rotor91 Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 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-R91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gomer Pylot Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said the same thing about insulin, but she's on a pill. I think it'll work to her advantage. R91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
