Thanks for posting that link. I'm in exactly that situation so I found it very interesting. I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes 15 years ago (strong family history of it). I've been unable to get my A1C below the diabetic threshold of 7.0, although I've come close. My Diabetes Doc has said that after 15 years my pancreas is running on empty, you can only squeeze it chemically for so long. Unless I show a marked improvement in A1C I'll be starting insulin after my next visit in late November. I wear a Continuous Glucose Monitor which enables me to print out comprehensive charts on my sugar levels, based that those the Doc plans to put me on short acting mealtime insulin. That type would be a major PITA to use while flying as it needs to be temp controlled once the multi-use injector pen is used, and refrigerated until it's opened. That's why I'm doubtful the FAA will approve pilots on that type of insulin. Now an insulin pump might be a different story, I'm not sure how much care and feeding those things need.
