To obtain a jockey's license, individuals with type 1 diabetes must provide medical documentation certifying that their condition is well-managed, they can recognize and treat hypoglycemia, and they have no other medical conditions that may impair their ability to ride safely. Additionally, jockeys with type 1 diabetes must carry glucose tablets, a blood glucose monitor, and insulin during races and adhere to a strict medical protocol. While obtaining a jockey's license with type 1 diabetes is challenging, it is possible with careful management of the condition and appropriate medical supervision.
