Is Having Diabetes Type 2 A Disqualifier For Most Companies Starting Out As A New Driver.

I am interested in becoming a truck driver. I know of the drug testing and the hair test, but what about if u have controlled diabetes type 2 is that a disqualifier.

Look up dot medical requirements I know you can but it depends on how its controlled. Mostly the medicine and how much of it you take.

I am Not a Doctor, so do your own research. #1, if your Injecting Insulin, then your disqualified from a CDL , that was the bad news... The good news is Type II Diabetes is a disease of choice and can be stopped by what you Eat.

Some People know that Type II can be a non issue if they change their Diet, It does take a major change, but the reward is 90% of people can get off of Type II Meds by learning what is really making everyone sick.. Search LCHF, IF, and Dr Jason Fung.. I could go on with a lot of different Dr's and Studies, but people have to want to change, so do your own studies and Good Luck..

Once one has reached the point of Diabetes Mellitis II, dependent on insulin, I believe the disease is nearly impossible to reverse, as the body's ability to process glucose and keep it out of the blood stream is lost. Once the disease is advanced enough to need insulin, there's no turning back, even for those who completely change their lifestyle, as the body has become resistant to its own attempts to process glucose and insulin must be supplemented. It's a very complicated disease that's very difficult to manage, even in the opinion of many physicians.
