Somebody walked through the terminal and figured out "If we do a sleep apnea requirement AND a Diabetes test, we will be down to about 12 guys."

How does having Type 2 diabetes affect getting a private pilot’s license? I’ve had it for 9 years now and have to renew my commercial driver’s medical card yearly because of it instead of every other year, but it’s otherwise straightforward. I control it with a pill twice a day, exercise, and low-carb eating.

For an illustration about how the FAA works, the first certificate showed up good for 30 more days. The issue was blood pressure and a rare skin condition that no doc except a dermatopathologist and some dermatologists have any clue about, damn certain no FAA doc. One of my partners wrecked our airplane about the same time I was dealing with the medical and trying to sort out the wreck for the corporation, and I had to take a break from flying. I suppose stress at work didn't help. I don't think the guy that wrecked the airplane has flown since, although he is still active in our EAA chapter. I am not completely against flying without a medical. Not against it at all. My weight and blood pressure are no issue now, skin never was. |

Insulin dependent is the issue. I don’t want a hypoglycemic pilot. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I know several diabetic drivers at work who eat nothing but sugary, starchy snack from the time they clock-in until the end of their shifts. "Gotta' make sure I don't have a glucose-crash", as they stuff a Snickers into their mouths and wash it down with a Coke. I guess they'll get a clue when their feet rot off the end of their legs, or maybe not. |
