I am not really sure about that one HD...
I believe if someone is insuline-dependant, it is far to much risk for the person to cope with a FA job.
I know a diabetic who needs insuline injections as well...as far as I can understand this person needs a sort of a regular care, including a very healthy, calories, sugar, and fat controlled diet, eat meals at regular times each day...
I am not really sure if you can have this healthy life style onboard...plus if you can take your insuline at regular times when working...
I understand your point...and believe me I see what you mean...and how it comes under the equal opps. policy....
I have reasons to believe for an airline it might be complicate as...what happen if for any reasons (such as an emergency) you won't be able to take your insuline and you have a cabin crew who is incapacitated?...therefore unable to assist pax during an evacuation (which is really our main role). What happen if your A/C goes tech somewhere...and you haven't got enough insuline with you? (as far as I understand insuline must be kept in a cool place as well).
I am not trying to put you down, don't get me wrong...but I am just trying to give you a "realistic" point of view...
However I am not involved in recruitment, but as far as I am concern all airlines look for fit, healthy individuals for a start...
You can always ring up an airline and ask yourself.
Best wishes.
