Default Diabetes in Canada
A colleague of mine who flies in Europe was diagnosed with Diabetes. He is no longer allowed to fly there. He heard a rumor that he could still operate for an airline in Canada...is this true? Everyone I ask here in the States have no clue.

From the CARs:

Quote:
1.18 Proven cases of diabetes mellitus may be considered fit provided the certain specific control criteria are met.

Canadian Aviation Regulations - PHYSICAL AND MENTAL REQUIREMENT

I'll look for more info.

Does your friend take insulin shots or oral medication, or can he control his blood glucose with just a diet?
