Australian Airline pilot with Type 1 Diabetes
Hi,
Was wondering if anyone reading this post is from the select group of Canadian commercial pilots who have managed to maintain their medical and still fly in multi-crew aircraft, after being diagnosed as type 1 diabetics? I am an Australian pilot who has recently been diagnosed and just started the battle with CASA to retain my medical. Traditionally in oz, type 1's have their medicals cancelled, but with so much research into the disease, and the fact that is being allowed in other countries (primarily Canada), i was hoping to achieve the same here in Australia.
So, is there anybody out there reading this that is flying an airliner and has type 1 diabetes??? Please help!
