Hello guys,
I myself am a type 1 diabetic and I have got a NPPL(M).
I've done approx 100 hrs in a Quik 912S and love every second of it.
In some cases it has been a bit challenging to test my sugar levels in the air due to turbulence often caused by the mountaines terrain around our field, but I have managed to stick to the rules. Often by starting a climb or descent or further away from the mountains to look for more stable air.
If I could find stabeler air it I took 10gr of Carbohydrates and as soon as I got into stable air I tested my sugar levels.
So to get back onto a question if it is possible to test your sugar levels in an open microlight than the answer is YES.
The sugar tester I'm using is ideal as it is the ACCU-Check Mobile 50 teststrips on a roll, so no need to fiddle around with putting a sugar test strip in the machine and code it. That save a lot of hassle and time.
I also have an elastic band around it so that if I drop it it doesn't fall to the earth or through my propellor.
I'm very grateful for the CAA and a NPPL medical advisor in particular who have allowed me to fly again.
So if you want to do it,go for it! It's awesome!
Kind regards,
Jan
