Good morning all,
Would anyone know anything about type 1 diabetes at sea? I have been diagnosed 3 months ago (as I was renewing my ENG1), my HbA1c is great now but I work as a chef on a private yacht with my partner and I am struggling to find a doctor who wants to pass me. They are reading the MCA doctor manual to me which states that I would be restricted to UK near coastal waters. We could deal with near coastal waters in general, but theUK specification would leave me without a livelyhood since we would normally do the classic Med summer and Caribbean winter. Currently trying to find a way as fast as possible so I can keep working. Please help!
