Yes, they often check your HbA1c to see how well your diabetes is managed. As long as it’s reasonably controlled and you can safely care for patients, it shouldn’t be a barrier. Good luck with your application!

I’m Type 2 but it’s not been mentioned about checking my HBA1C? I did tell Occupational Health what my last one was but only to demonstrate it’s well controlled.
