How do people with diabetes generally handle the different kinds of work
I didn't think type 1 could be a commercial pilot due to risk, co-pilot and other aviation jobs are permittedI just go to work same as everyone else. Same as before I had diabetes. I just sit at a desk though. There are type 1 air pilots and type 1 personal trainers, might take a bit more planning for them, but they just get on with it too.

I know as type 1's we can get a pilots licence but that is only to fly in a private capacity.
In a way just as you would sport, you find what routine helps you to main good control whilst engaging in that activity. Diabetes doesn't stop you doing anything you want in lifeHow do people with diabetes generally handle the different kinds of work
I took about 5 hours flying lessons a few years back and read up on flying commercially with type 1 the bottom line i found was that i wasn't allowed to work as a commercial pilot if i got my pilots licence.There is a member on here who has been diagnosed type 1 and returned to work as a pilot. I'll see if I can remember his name and tag him...
As @catapillar states, the rules have changed (in 2012). Both in the UK and US, Commercial Pilots with Type 1 are now allowed to fly professionally.I didn't think type 1 could be a commercial pilot due to risk, co-pilot and other aviation jobs are permitted
