[QUOTE="Bluey1, post: 1893293, member: 36344"] I can only comment on Australia, however all the rules seem to be similar. I am a qualified and active guard and qualified Conductor. Although my work is voluntary we must meet the National Rail Authorities standards. Whilst my counterparts only do a medical once every 5 years, I have to do one every year, however 4 of those years the Dr just reviews my test results has a chat and I'm good to go. Here is the link to the UK standards [URL='https://www.rssb.co.uk/rgs/standards/GOOTC302%20Iss%201.pdf']https://www.rssb.co.uk/rgs/standards/GOOTC302 Iss 1.pdf[/URL] there is no mention of Diabetes, but section - 5.1 General Health In general terms, candidates must not suffer from medical conditions, or be taking medical treatment, likely to cause:- (a) sudden loss of consciousness (b) impairment of awareness or concentration (c) sudden incapacity (d) impairment of balance or co-ordination (e) significant limitation of mobility (f) visual impairment of a temporary or transient nature. (a) and (c) will be the issue so unless he has a lot of serious Hypos. A good Drs report should make a & c not be an issue [/QUOTE]
