Diabetes mellitus had traditionally been considered disqualifying for flying duties. Increasingly, our understanding of both Type I and Type II diabetes permits identification of subgroups of diabetics with an acceptable aeromedical risk. A case is presented of a Canadian Forces pilot with Type I diabetes who continues on restricted flying duties. The pathophysiology of Type I and Type II diabetes is discussed, as well as aeromedical considerations for returning a diabetic to flying status. Within an envelope of defined geographic and operational flying limitations, diabetic aircrew may be safely and usefully returned to restricted flying duties.
传统上，糖尿病被认为不适合执行飞行任务。随着我们对I型和II型糖尿病认识的不断加深，能够识别出航空医学风险可接受的糖尿病亚组。本文介绍了一例患有I型糖尿病的加拿大军队飞行员继续执行受限飞行任务的病例。文中讨论了I型和II型糖尿病的病理生理学，以及让糖尿病患者恢复飞行状态的航空医学考量。在规定的地理和作战飞行限制范围内，糖尿病空勤人员可安全且有效地恢复受限飞行任务。
