Insulin Research Study

[mtpease]

A friend's wife recently offered me the chance to participate in a study involving insulin patches. She said it will put small amounts of insulin into my body over a 24 hour period.

Does participating in a research study disqualify me for a 1st class medical?

Yes. Any research study disqualifies you for ANY class of medical certificate. Currently you cannot use insulin for the treatment of diabetes and hold a Class 1 or Class 2 medical certificate.

Thanks for the quick reply, you made my decision very easy.
