Speaking as a CDL holder who was diagnosed with Diabetes 6 years ago, if you are on insulin you cannot get one. If your sugars are controlled with oral medications or diet you must undergo a DOT physical exam every year instead of the standard 2 year medical ticket. This has since changed since 2005. You can get a CDL even with insulin diabetes. There are forms to fill out and procedures to follow, of course. Here is a link that will explain it in further detail : http://tinyurl.com/6kqxfo

CDL regulations for individuals with diabetes require them to meet certain medical standards to ensure they can safely operate a commercial vehicle. This typically includes regular medical exams, monitoring blood sugar levels, and providing documentation of their condition to their employer or the licensing agency. In some cases, additional requirements such as a medical waiver may be needed for a driver with diabetes to maintain their CDL.
