I have a friend who was told her can't get his driving permit or license untill he goes 2 or 2 whole years w/o a seizure from his diabetes. He is almost 18 now. He is insulin dependant. He has to take it after EVERYTHING he eats. I understand people will say "diabetes is a disease not a disability" but I beg to differ. A disease such as diabetes can also be a disability in alot of cases! I just need some other opinions on this.
