title: Aircrew and type 1 diabetes mellitus.
abstract: The most stringent clinical criteria cannot guarantee that individuals with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) will preserve awareness of an impending hypoglycemic episode or that a hypoglycemic episode can be prevented. Further, cognition may be impaired for a considerable period of time beyond the correction of any episode. These observations and their implications to operational aircrew with Type 1 DM are discussed.
