Type 1 Diabetes

Hi all

I did a search on this topic and couldn't find the answers that I am looking for so would be grateful for any advice and assistance out there. Basically after a long break from flying (due to marriage, kids, divorce), I have decided to regain my PPL and enjoy the skies again. Unfortunately about 3 years ago I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. I am aware that I wouldn't have had a chance of flying solo again up until a few years ago and I have downloaded all (I think) the relevant paperwork from the CAA website in advance of taking my medical again.

My query is more about people's experiences with Type 1 and the CAA. I'm aware that it may be a challenge and am prepared for it but any info (good and bad) would be most welcome.

Regards
