Type 2 Diabetes

I was interested to read this thread. I was not aware that type 2 and metformin basically means no class 1 initial medical. Had hopes one day of being an instructor but thats blown it. Seems a bit unfair that just because you already have a class 1 the renewal is not as strict. Could there be a case for disability discrimination here ??

Can anyone tell me what the position is with the other medicals class 2 etc regarding type 2 controlled by tablets.

Also interested what the blood pressure limits are for a class 2 if anyone knows. As many years of body abuse means that in my 50's I'm on the usual tablets to control blood pressure.

Looks like flying could be a dead duck for me in the future.

Looking forward to hera from you.
