Question about diabetes type 2 and dot physical.

You need to learn what they test for.

In a way, I hope you get caught and put out of job. We have enough problems without people like you leading to more regulations because of this.

 

Why lie? There is absolutely no reason to.

As already stated above, Metformin is an accepted treatment for Type II, and in no way does being prescribed it preclude you from obtaining and holding a CDL. Insulin dependent...that's a whole different story.

Save yourself any possible grief you may get down the road, and be honest with who you're applying to now.

 

if following the rules and only getting a 1 year card sucks so bad then go out and find something else to do I mean really..... I have a 1 year card and have been getting 1 every year for 9 years what's the big deal

 

If you get your physical from your primary care provider and you are well under controll they are allowed to give you a 2 year card but you cant have any episodes i didnt know this untill the other day my dr showed it to me in black and white and sure enough it was true

 

Diabetes is a risk for a special kind of problem that involves a multistage big word. Basically involves going into a coma wherever you are should your body be allowed to be outside it's limits of controlled diabetes. If you lapse into a coma at speed and come up on a stopped highway you are going to kill so many people.

Im sorry you should have spoken up about it. If it's controlled that's fine. But with trucking's feast and famine? You are playing with fire and lives.

Wow! Lying on log books or your spouse is one thing, but lying on an app to drive a commercial vehicle with the very real possibility of your ability to control that vehicle being in question? Is your greed and lack of moral compass really that bad? I would venture to guess that if someone else was trying to pull the same stunt your trying to pull was in an accident with you and God forbid you or someone in your family was hurt you would dig deep in their pockets. You should be ashamed of yourself for even contemplating this. Man up or woman up which ever applies and deal with it. Don't let your greed and unwillingness to be inconvenienced put someone's life in jeopardy including your own. Do it the right way and you'll be fine. It's actions like this that made truckers the scum of the earth in the 70's when road dope was the in thing, we don't need to go back to the public having that perception of us again. It's hard enough to not get the finger or sideways glances.
