Default 3rd class medical urinalysis?


They also check for creatin levels. After an FAA medical a couple
medicals ago, the doctors said that I had protein in my urine. Not
enough to disqualify me, but enough that I should get it checked
again.

I did, and it was nothing. (I am -- ok, was -- a long distance runner,
and apparently, that can casue temporarily elevated protein levels in
a urinalysis.)

In any case, like others said, they are not checking for drugs, but
diabetes is not the only thing they are checking for.

YOu have assumed wrong they are checking your sugar levels. There isn't a
drug screen in the class 3 medical testing and there is no enabling law if
they wanted to.
