Where is it Possible to Fly Commercially?

At this time pilots in Canada can fly multi-crew operations.  However, this is only possible if diagnosis of type 1 diabetes occurs while employed in commercial operations (e.g. airline flying).  After being diagnosed and once the pilot is stabilized on insulin treatment, plus other medical requirements are met (such as meeting minimum blood sugar control criteria), it is possible to return to flying duties.  It is also understood that it may be possible to fly commercially in Israel (awaiting further details).

Where is it Possible to Fly in the Military?

It is understood that it is possible to fly in Canada’s military on a similar basis to commercial flying i.e. after diagnosis for existing military pilots it may be possible to return to flying duties exists after stabilization and minimum blood sugar control criteria are met. It is also understood that it may be possible to fly in the Israeli military (awaiting further details).
