I am asked about pilots diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, that is, sugar diabetes. While it is best not to develop diabetes mellitus, to prevent diabetes mellitus, and to treat diabetes mellitus with diet and exercise, the FAA does permit use of some medications. However, this requires a special issuance from the FAA.
