[QUOTE="onestoptogo, post: 751257, member: 28490"] I am a package driver. When I started driving I was not a diabetic but later had medical issues which caused me to become one. I personally use a insulin pump, but you are not required to use a pump. I get the feeling that UPS does not really like us diabetics driving, but since it is approved by the DOT they can't really do anything about it. I would not expect them to volunteer any information about this program to any drivers or potential drivers. If I was a part-time worker who was diabetic and close to making the jump to full time, I would get my waiver early and stay qualified. Use your medical benefits! It takes between 6-9 months to get the waiver so you don't want to get caught not being able drive when you get the call. If you are not ready when UPS calls, you will get passed over by less seniority workers and it could and would cost you thousands of dollars. [/QUOTE]
