| >>>" Example Airline plots or driving heavy machinery or policeman. Have any of been told by your doctor what you can't do?"<<<
My doctor (at the time) told me that 30 years ago, but things have changed. If you have good control, most jobs are open to diabetics.
I worked in the construction trades for many years. I operated heavy machinery. My present job involves alot of driving. Interstate truck-driving wasn't allowed, but its permitted now if you're well controlled. I know a T1 who's a deputy sheriff and have heard of others in law enforcement. 30 years ago T1's were blanket-banned from getting pilots licenses, but can now, if they have good control. I don't know of any T1's who are airline pilots (yet).
Good control is the common thread. Your doc will have be willing to sign a statement that you're in good control. Saying what he said, it doesn't look like he's willing to do that.
