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.

Best answer:

Answer by John B
Disability?? Only if you are stupid enough not to control it. Thank God someone is willing to protect others from someone driving with seizures.

What are you after the words Social Security Disability?

It can be a pain in the rear but controlled with education it is certainly not a disability in 99.99% of the cases.

What do you think? Answer below!
