Hello All!
I felt it was right to say a big thank you to all of you on here.
I was diagnosed as a Type 1 back in June and the nature of my job (airline pilot) meant that it was all in doubt. Not cool at any age, let alone 24!
I stuck in there, used the thought of getting my Class 1 pilots medical back as my motivation and coupled with my fantastic health team and here, it's now become a reality - I received my reinstated medical through the post today after 4 months of demonstrating control. The 27th person to be insulin dependant and flying commercial airliners.

From little hints & tips to exercise, I've used lots of advice off of here and can't thank you enough!
Keep up the good work everyone!
Cheers
Scott
