Diabetic pilots?
Is Diabeties a condition which you would fail on your class one medical?
What i mean is would having diabeties stop you from becoming a commercial pilot?

Thanks
Dave

I may be wrong but "glucose intolerance" diabetes that can be controlled with diet I think is acceptable.

Insulin dependent diabetes is however a failure of the class 1

Sagey, I'm pretty sure you're correct. We has a bloke at our place (now retired) who was diabetic and "diet controlable".
