Hi Team,
I’m trying to get a better picture of how I can help those with T1D operating in the Maritime sector. I would like to float a few questions and see if anyone can help.
- Who are the current Diabetic Specialist Advisors to DVLA, MCA and CAA?
- Are there any other seafarers on here who would share their story with T1D and restricted operation?
- Does anyone know of any recent studies regarding CGMs and their use in any of the mentioned industries?
I was diagnosed a year ago with T1D. After operating privately for the last few months I have a greater understanding of how easily the condition is managed in the marine environment. My license is up for renewal and I would like to continue working in world wide waters so this is the next hurdle.
Understanding what risk mitigation can be done to update current restrictions.
Any information or input would be greatly appreciated.
