Can i drive a forklift truck with type 1 diabetes?!
Question: As long as you maintain tight control of your glucose levels, you can do anything you want.
You may have to prove that you have tight control, but that is easy! Record keeping, testing, taking insulin on schedule and eating properly will keep tight control of glucose.
Always have your ID, meter, glucose tabs or whatever you like for hypos, and your snacks and water with you at all times.
Check your glucose before doing anything!!! Always, even if it is going for a walk. Take the proper safety precautions needed!
some states in the USA and some countries have prohibitions on diabetics, either type, from even driving a car unless they prove they have tight control.
So maintain very tight control and you can do anything!!!
