Dr. Bhargava has championed the cause of bringing this Taking Control Of Your Diabetes conference and health fair to the community of Des Moines.
Douglas Cairns was a jet pilot and flight instructor in the British Royal Air Force (RAF) when, in 1989, he was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. With his pilot's license revoked because of his diabetes, Douglas left the RAF and changed careers.
In 1999, Douglas discovered that it was possible to obtain a United States medical license to fly solo privately by meeting certain medical requirements. He obtained that license. 'Diabetes World Flight' was born to show that it is possible for such pilots to fly safely according to US FAA regulations. Douglas Cairns flew around the world in 159 days, flying over 26,300 nautical miles and visiting 22 countries. He is a living example that diabetes does not have to limit the scope of our dreams.
