med requirements?

[242]

I have heard that it is not possible to obtain a pilot's license if
afflicted with insulin-dependent diabetes. Is this, indeed, the case?
Please advise. Thank you.

Hi

Full details are on the web site for the CAA, from what I gather the answer
is maybe.

I think Al's point is that 242 is posting from the Eastern USA - so
the UK CAA won't be all that helpful to him ... on the otherhand the
FAA might be the ones
