Diabetes and insulin in ATC

Recently a friend lost his medical due to being prescribed slow release insulin for Type 2 diabetes. The rules surrounding it seem to vary markedly, however, in the country where he works (ME), they are quite rigid. It seems pilots can follow a monitoring protocol, yet controllers cannot .
Does anyone have any different experience? What are the rules where you are? Is it disqualifying?
