I am a trauma registered nurse in Texas, about to become a controller. I have no idea what the rules for passing the medical, but common sense would say that since Type 1 is a genetic....you're born with it, type disease, they cannot descriminate against it. If, of course, it does not interfere with your role of ensure safety aboard the craft.
If you pass your medical, a company should not be able to say "you can't have the job because you have type 1 DM. Now, Type 2, which is 95% lifestyle induced....I think they have every right. Call it strange, but thats my $0.40.
