A TML for 12 months may be needed to ensure compliance with the follow-up requirements below. The information from is our Medical colleagues is that firstly on the current situation according to AMC5 MED.B.095 (d)(3) the LAPL “Applicants with diabetes mellitus Type 2 treated with insulin may be assessed as fit with limitations for revalidation if blood sugar control has been achieved and the process under (e) and (f) is followed.
I feel it is about time EASA takes another look at this restriction which is archaic to say the least. Leaving aside ATPL or CPL, not even PPL nor the lowly LAPL can get medical certificates if using insulin. In the light of what the FAA and other authorities around the world has done and technological breakthroughs in diabetes management I find it totally unacceptable that the EASA still does not allow insulin dependent diabetic pilots to fly for a living. Improved insulin formulas and monitoring devices has made his condition (which affects at least 15% of human population) very manageable and potential for pilot incapacitation almost negligible, well, at least at a level comparable to other conditions that are allowed by EASA to get medical certification. However, you still have to wear two separate insertion sites on opposite sides of the body for this combination, so they're still considered separate devices.Starting from 7 November 2019 the FAA is allowing insulin dependent diabetics to qualify for 1st and 2nd class medical certificates provided they go through an evaluation and use an approved CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitoring) device. There are a couple brands of insulin pump that have an integrated CGMS. They have nothing to do with measuring glucose. (You still have to prick your finger even using a CGM, they are NOT reliable or accurate enough yet to count on them for anything but trends)

The only other ways are full blood draws at the lab or using a continuous glucose monitor. The main, quickest, and most accurate way to check your blood sugar, or blood glucose, which ever you want to call it IS pricking your finger and using a test strip. I think what they mean is that for testing your BS, rather than using a regular glucose meter (pricking your finger then using a test strip), an insulin pump (which regularly checks your bs every 5 mins) can also be used. If you're not, I'd still like to clear it up for other readers since your post confused me. It think you might be a little bit confused about the different diabetic tools. That really sucks, but I'm glad you've found something else that can make you happy. I'm sorry for your loss in desired career. What do they mean Insulin pumps are acceptable? Anyone have experience with getting a PPL (personal pilots license)? Is this yet another outdated limitation? The following is a summary of the evaluation protocol and an outline of the conditions that the FAA will apply: Initial Certification Monitoring and Actions Required During Flight Operations Subsequent Medical Certification (Note: Insulin pumps are acceptable.) If certificated, they will be required to adhere to stringent monitoring requirements and are prohibited from operating aircraft outside the United States. Individuals certificated under this policy will be required to provide substantial documentation regarding their history of treatment, accidents related to their disease, and current medical status. Consideration is not being given for first or second class certification. Consideration will be given only to those individuals who have been clinically stable on their current treatment regimen for a period of 6-months or more. The FAA has established a policy that permits the special issuance medical certification of insulin treated applicants for third class medical certification. I'm going through the FAA site for Helicopter licenses and the FAA medical certificate.
I have a Minimed pump and have been on it for years. I'm 25 and have been type 1 for 14 years.
