Is having diabetes and insulin dependent considered a disability legally?
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. A: Actually, diabetes is a disability. I only got diagnosed a few weeks ago with Type One and my mum had to fill out a Care plan and everything because it is seen as a disability. The only reason that is though is because you have to buy stuff that you wouldn’t normally have to if you didn’t have it. it doesn’t actually mean that he is disabled.
