Could you give an example of a case where there was an incident because of a pilot’s diabetes or some other similar condition?
Should folks with a family history of heart attacks also be then stopped from flying? Where do you draw the line of “this health condition is significant enough”?
I’m not sure if you are familiar with medical conditions but things like diabetes can be managed quite well to the point of being nearly trivial (in terms of its negative effects.)

This has nothing to do with diversity (and why the quotes)? Medical conditions could be classified as a disability but I don’t understand what that has to do with diversity.
