momwith3 posted a discussionMy baby is going to College
Are there any other parents with 18 year olds leaving home for school or jobs? My son will be over 5 hours away as he goes to college. I have so many concerns: he doesn't know his roommates yet but will be in residence. Will he be confident enough to explain his diabetes to them? Will he test regularly? I have asked him to text me everynight before bed, but I know this will not last long. I just told him it would ease my mind as I would know what his bg levels are before bed. I know they have…See More

momwith3 commented on momwith3's blog post 'Have you been denied a job because you are Type 1?'"Thanks for the links. I was told my son would not be able to be a commercial pilot from the pilot industry. How weird. He decided to pursue another career, but I'm glad things are changing for the better."
HPNpilot commented on momwith3's blog post 'Have you been denied a job because you are Type 1?'"I see you didn't get an answer to this....it turns out that there are T1 commercial airline pilots in Canada (but not in the US). In the US you can be a private pilot with T1, but can't get the medical certification for commercial pilot…"

What is your job and are their challenges with your type 1?

My husband is a teacher. He rarely has any problems as he has enough breaks to test as needed.
Have you been denied a job because you are Type 1?

Over 20 years ago, my husband wanted to be a city police officer and was denied because he had diabetes. My son who is also Type 1 said he may want to be a police officer or pilot. Any info. if this is a possibility? We do live in Canada. Thanks for the input.

Elizabeth said… - Hi, nice to meet you! In answer to your question above... I have a shelf in our bathroom closet that contains all supplies. Anything in boxes is just on the shelf, anything that's been opened is in a bin so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle. I also keep spares of everything in his diabetes kit, and another set of spares at the daycare he attends.
