[QUOTE="helenofcalifornia, post: 897385, member: 5170"] A driver at our center has had Type 1 diabetes and been taking insulin to control it. No problems at work because of the diabetes. He went to get his DOT card renewed and told the medical person that he was taking insulin. He is now on TAW until he gets a waiver. They told him 6 months for a waiver. But he also said that as a driver you cannot drive if you take insulin. Anyone know of other drivers that have faced this situation? Any recourse other than being permanent split shift worker if he can't drive again? It seems to me that the insulin he was taking controlled the issue and shouldn't be reason to take him off the road. Anyone??? He's a nice guy. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
