I have been wondering this for a very long while, since I have type 2 diabetes. Almost all my friends are joining the military, and I think I may want to too, just because of the benefits, and to pay for college.
All the questions on here are about type 1 (insulin dependent) and I haven’t found any answers for type 2 (diet controlled).

No, I am not on Insulin, my diabetes is controlled with diet, and I live as if I do not have diabetes.

All the questions on here [Yahoo! Answers] are about type 1 (insulin dependent) and I haven’t found any answers for type 2 (diet controlled).

I realize that if you have type 1 diabetes you are automatically disqualified, but I control my type 2 diabetes simply by consuming a diet low in sugars and this works fine for me.

What is the militarys stance on this?

I have Type 2 Diabetes, which is under control. I do not have any other health problems. Would it be possible for me to join the military? Thank you for your assistance.
