Hello, I am 19 and am eager to start flight training, however, I have type 1 Diabetes. Are you able to still get a first-class medical if you maintain very good control? Or is it not possible?
If it is, which I believe I saw something on the FAA’s website where you could if you had 6 months of CGM data, of which no more than 1% of readings were <54mg/dL, no more than 4% readings <70mgdL, no more than 5% of readings were >250mgdL, and no less than 90% of readings were within 70mgdL - 250mgdL and no less 70% of readings within 70mg/dL -180mgdL
Let’s assume that is correct for a moment, which if it isn’t then nothing else really matters here. Does it make since to wait and take a part 61 online ground school, before getting the medical and applying for ATP or another part 141 flight school? Would the school require that I also enroll in there ground school?
