I have a six year authorizatoin for SI of my 3rd class medical due to type II diabetes and hypertension (if Dr. Bruce is on here -- thanks for the help with that a couple of years ago). One of the conditions for the AME to renew my medical based on the SI authorization letter is that there is no change in my oral hypoglycemic medication. So far there hasn't been any. But, if I do have to change, is there any way to avoid being grounded for months while the AME defers the application to the regional flight surgeon? (that is what he did originally, saying it was quicker than Oklahoma City, but it still took months). If it matters, I take metformin for the diabetes.
Thanks.
Thanks.
