Do the opposite, scuba dive

Maybe you can look into getting an insulin pump. They are making strides with other treatments. Maybe you will still be able to fly someday. Good luck.

Wtf is with all the ydi trolls?

To everyone who is confused or doesnt believe an adult can get T1 diabetes: I have Dismetobolic syndrome and am "pre diabetic" so to speak. I am 14 and was [falsely] diagnosed with t2 diabetes, but later my endocrinologist corrected the diagnoses. T1 is NOT just for minors, and T2 is NOT just for adults. they used to be recognised as T1 being juvenile diabetes and T2 being adult, but more children are getting t2 and more adults are getting t1. T1 is when your body quits producing insulin, and T2 is when your body produces insulin, just not enough. insulin is a hormone that helps balance blood glucose levels, and as you ingest more sugar, you gain more weight, or you even just don't eat "healthy", your pancreas goes into overdrive trying to fix it, eventually wearing out. it stops producing insulin (still more common in children) because your immune system gets weaker, and without your immune system helping to filter your kidneys and liver, they cannot have enough power to filter out toxins without causing you to get sick, so they select the least bad thing (sugar) to let through, hiding the rest. younger people are more Likely to get T1 because their immune system is still getting stronger, but it's possible that they will get T2. it's more common for older people to get T2 because their immune system is stronger, but it's still possible to get T1. ♢☆

Type one sucks, I'm sorry to hear that. But at least you found out at an appointment rather than getting a low blood sugar mid-flight.
