Application Process for Medical Certification

Applicant History - Item 18. Medical History
k. Diabetes

The applicant should describe the condition to include, symptoms and treatment. The AME will need comments on any hyperglycemic and/or hypoglycemic episodes (high or low blood sugar). A medical history or clinical diagnosis of diabetes mellitus requiring insulin or other hypoglycemic drugs for control are disqualifying, but it may be possible to get a waiver (special issuance). The AME can help expedite the FAA review by assisting the applicant in gathering medical records and submitting a current specialty report.
