Thank you to the 3 people and the Staff and Administration of the
DCUK Forum. I had Stuffed up my joining this group by using a first go around screen name Davidd53 and my Nation of Birth is America and so due to the death of my brother of Liver Cancer on December 3rd and multicultural issues etc. I handled everything wrong and very kind people from this Forum helped me find my way. I decided that I was almost to the Suicide point so I asked to be taken off the Roster. Anyway enough of all of this because I have another new name and I am still Type one insulin dependqent diabetic and I intend to be very helpful and yet I am dependent on all of you. Thank you for your Time and sacrifice to even read this. I am grateful to all of you. My real first name is Sam and the Screen name is Australia 1.

Now that is the last of that to of my Knowledge to tell all of my brothers and sisters here. In the Name of Jesus Christ.
Amen, Sam.

@hiya I say G’day to you!!!!! Australia is close to being the world leader in the number of Diabectics in this country. As I have written earlier about flying Aircraft it was a service rather than a job. But the Government will fly me 500 miles to a small airstrip in Tenet Creek in the Northern Territory. And that private aircraft (I own it) I fly from Town to Town to Town with emergency medical supplies. I never had a Hypo as I am Obsessive about my diabetes. My Blood is between 5.0 Mmol and 6.5 Mmol 24/7 On these Flights. I do not take passengers and my aircraft can in theory take off in a 100 Foot stretch. I write this to encourage my Diabectic Friends here at this Forum as yes @hiya I did have a very shaky start. And you are indeed correct about the vast Knowledge and Experiences to read about and I did not write that Airplane story for some trophy opinion that I am great. No, the Australian Government works with me to help other Australians in our Vast Outback and as long as I pass all of my Medical exams and there are no issues then I will do what I continue to do. There are NO Commercial Airline Pilots in this Country. I do this because my Heart is in it and I am Diabectic Type 1. I hope that someone got inspired by this writing as you @hiya inspired me to write this as inspired by God.
Brother Sam

I was speaking of Type One Diabectic Pilots. There are no Diabectic Commercial Airline Pilots such as Qantas, Virgin Australia and United Airlines etc. Our Flight Line physical are Military Style as it would be in Any country. I do not understand the question. I guess I left out the Diabectic part. When I did my First Pre-Flight Medical at age 15 of course I passed it. One year I had to take Valium and I remember my Friend who loaned me his Piper Cherokee Arrow a lot said now you can lie about this and get away with it or do as your consciousness dictates. He knew that I was a Christian so I told the truth and got Grounded. After 2 more Flight physicals I got through it. If you look at YouTube there are plenty of Pilots that have cardiac arrests and a major Hypo would let a passenger land an aircraft. There is a fascinating one in the U.K. that I get inspired about. The passenger was a 69 year old man who had never Flown an aircraft in his life. He landed that plane and in one month started his first flight lesson. This was in total darkness. I equal any Diabectic problem with a Cardiac issue. Do not forget that German Wings Airbus 320. Suicide. The Airline let Him take SSRI,s and Fly that Aircraft.
