My understanding is that if the FAA
gets the reports and refuses the medical you can't go Sport either.

Well, not quite, he can go sport but he would have to go through the
process, obtain the special issuance and then let it expire. I don't know if
he can actually get it and then surrender it and immediately go sport,
rather than have to wait 2 years.

Good call on the eye exam and other issues! I forgot those are required for
diabetics as well. I thought they were only required if you had heart
issues...
