Subclinical diabetic patients under oral antidiabetic treatment should not be recruited nor be retained in flight crews as flight stress could precipitate unpredictable hypoglycemic crises as a drug side effect. Effects of antidiabetic sulfamides and biguanides are discussed. Excretion routes, serum, and urine detection are reviewed.
