Hello
I am a 21 year old looking to obtain my pilots license. I have been a Type 1 diabetic since I was 13 years old.
I keep getting mixed answers from people and figured this would be the place to get a straight answer.
My diabetes is extremely well controlled ON insulin. My hemoglobin A1C is at 5.9% and has been for 2 straight years. What should I expect with my medical exam? I had all my information sent to the FAA and will be setting up an appointment with a certified MD shortly.
I wear contacts, but other than that and having type 1 diabetes, I am in perfect health. I just wanted to know what to expect and what extra steps I need to take in order to get my license.
Thank you!
Jim
