FAA ITDM Initial Comprehensive Report (Insulin)

Insulin-treated pilots applying under the FAA's diabetes protocol need an initial comprehensive evaluation from their treating board-certified endocrinologist within the past 90 days. This two-page specification lists every item the report must detail and comment on: diabetes history, medication and monitoring, psychosocial screening, glucose control, a narrated physical exam, assessment and plan, and the next follow-up date.

Who completes it

The treating board-certified endocrinologist writes the report, addressing every listed item. It is a narrative report from the evaluation, not a fill-in form.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
The endocrinologist gives the report to the pilot, who brings it to the AME for upload into the FAA file or sends it to the FAA as the Authorization letter directs.
