NON MEDICALLY QUALIFIED RESPONSE HERE!!!!!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the answer is goeing to be a categoric "NO wherever you turn.

I know this from hard fact with my daughter who was grounded with Type 1 diabetes early in her flying training.

Her rejection as cabin crew followed in close pursuit.

You say that you are well controlled Captainkarl, and good for you! Good control does take a lot of personal discipline and a thorough understanding of your condition. My daughter remains well controlled also, but 15 years down the track still has the occasional little "hypo", enough to make flying dangerous.

THAT WAS A NON MEDICALLY QUALIFIED RESPONSE!!!!!

Best regards, and good luck with the next-best alternative
