[QUOTE="type1pilot, post: 306013, member: 47666"] Good for the UK. I am a Brit living in the US. The FAA has been issuing medical certificates for pilots with type 1 diabetes since 1995, and no accidents have occurred in which diabetes was identified as a contributing factor. I have been one of approximately 400 pilots with type 1 since I got my licence in 2010. The fact that until now I can only fly solo (i.e. without passengers) under an NPPL has deterred me significantly from ever returning to the UK, although, in general, the US is a WAY better place to fly - with a private licence I can fly at night, through New York City's crowded airspace (I've only ever been refused once due to controller workload), and to a hundred airfields within 100 nm of my base at Morristown (KMMU).
