[QUOTE="UPSGUY72, post: 1749150, member: 14514"] There are certain medical condition that will prevent you from getting a DOT card no matter if they are under control or not. You can do a search online or go to the DOT website and read up on them. At a DOT physical they are going to check to see if your a Diabetic, see if you can read a eye chart, if you can hear them whispering in back of you, your pulse, and blood pressure, if you a guy your going to have to turn and cough, and they will check to see if your spine is OK, They probably will make you close your eyes and touch your nose and also close your eyes and hold your hand out to your side. I'm a type 2 diabetic so I have to make sure I'm eating good and and fasting a little longer than 12 hours so when they check my urine they isn't any sugar in it. I also need to see a eye DR eye year. If you a type 1 diabetic your going to problem if you take insulin. If your a type 2 diabetic and now your sugar level will be normal when they check don't tell them. However if you don't and they detect sugar they are going to ask you and if you say you are and didn't put it on the sheet your going to have problem. If you say your not they aren't going to give you a DOT card until you see your DR. or they will give you 30 or 90 day card. You need to remember you need to disclose serious medical conditions there are DOT rules preventing you from driving with concern certain medical condition for the public safety. If you didn't disclose those condition and you got in an accident and it was later found out that you hid that condition you could get sued and or sent to jail depending on how severe the accident you got into. [COLOR=#ff0000]Hopefully the condition you have doesn't prevent you from driving if it does I would appreciate it that you disclose it and understand that it's a public safety issue nothing more.
