Since his diagnosis 29 years ago, my son’s father has never seen a doctor about his type 1 diabetes. He doesn’t acknowledge it because it could affect his pilot’s license. Should he be on the lookout for anything? Should I worry about my son flying with him? Should I do anything to protect my son from developing diabetes?
