Hi all new here, im just about to start my GWO training for work in America on wind turbines, im on 780G insulin pump and wondering if having Type 1 will hinder my chances of getting a job?

Thanks

Hi @Gavlaaa91 and welcome to the forum. I'm sorry I can't answer your question. Have you made any enquiries with the course trainers etc, as they would have more information on this.

Was there a reason you wondered if diabetes would hinder your chances?

Hi @Gavlaaa91 and welcome to the DCUK forums.

I agree with @hopful34 that you should ask your trainers about this? The obvious potential issue to me is what happens if you are climbing a turbine and go hypo???

Some jobs (eg heavy goods vehicle driving in the UK) do have quite hard qualification requirements for insulin users, because of the dangers of going hypo.

Good luck.

I don't live there or plan to move to there, I plan to work there on a visa. I currently live in the UK
