I have been told by my doctor (today) that since my oral medications are no longer working to control my blood sugar. She said I need to go on either Victoza (which she said has been happy with as far as effectiveness is concerned) or insulin (Lantus). Can anyone tell me their experiences with either medication and what hoops you had to go through with the FAA to get a class III medical? I'm upset and nervous about having to shoot myself and side effects. It's been several years since I've flown and my most recent class III expired more than 10 yrs ago, but when I got diagnosed in '89 my medical was initially refused although I got a SI (This is why I'm assuming I won't be able to use my driver's license even if I do sport pilot). Please correct me if I'm wrong.
