Can a Person With Type 2 Diabetes Enter Into The Military?

I have be wondering this for a very long while, since I hold type 2 diabetes. Almost all my friends are joining the military, and I suppose I may want to too, just because of the benefits, and to pay cheque for college.
All the questions on here are going on for type 1 (insulin dependent) and I haven't found any answers for type 2 (diet controlled).Can a Person With Type 2 Diabetes Enter Into The Military?

The answer is no. I am retired military, and also diabetic. The medicines and the problems you encounter would not take home your service worthwhile to the military. To join only because your buddies are, and for the education, is not obedient reasons to associate. Do not forget going to war and possibly dieing surrounded by Iraq or Iran etc,etc,
Unfortunately, any type of chronic disease is grounds for disqualification from the armed forces. While your diabetes may be under apposite control, it will not go away. The military will look at you as a liability and will not adopt you.
The military was something I thought roughly speaking also...some years ago...but since I am a type 1, I knew they would not transport me and never bothered to apply.
Diabetes has artificial me professionally. No matter how rugged I try not to let it hold me rear, it does. For instance, as an EMT, I will not become a firefighter because of restrictions involving getting a CDL (required to drive a fire truck). I can drive an ambulance and I do.
I wish you luck contained by whatever walkway you choose. Just remember...there are profusely of diseases that can take your natural life. Diabetes can take over your enthusiasm. Good luck.
