Hey all, I'm finally at a point where I'm going to be able to get my pilot's license, and I have a few questions about getting my medical, namely with getting my diabetes through it. I know that all the numbers I've had recently have been good, and for those who know the numbers My last two A1C's were a 7.0 and a 6.9
Anyways, From what I understand these are good and along with a doctor's letter, an eye doctor's letter and some other stuff I should be able to get my class 3 medical. What I'm wondering is how I would go about getting all this paperwork in order for the AME? I'm going to be training this summer, and the less red tape I'm caught up in the better because that'll leave more of my rather limited time available for flying.
So basically, what exactly would I need to do before I visit the AME to make the process as smooth as possible. Also, when should I do this in the process of training. I know I need my medical before my solo and that the CFI will be able to give me more detailed info as that date approaches, but when would that (approximatly) be?
edit- I forgot to mention as well, Type I on a pump
