Ok, here is the thing. I am 23 years old and have Type 2 Diabetes. I know to join the military (more specifically Air Force) it is practically frowned upon, and lose any chance of getting in. BUT I am also 5'8, 230lbs (female) and I plan to drop 50-60lbs before I do anything. If I get fit, healthy, eat right, stay on an exercise regimine... do you think there is a possibility my diabetes will become 'dorment' like and won't be detected when I take the blood test? Do you think I can still get in? Im currently not on any pres. because of certain herbs I take that also helps it. Please serious reply's only, im serious.
Yeah I haven't been on meds for 6 months and I feel fine. I do plan on working hard to get this weight off, I just started last week and dropped 5 so far. I don't plan on telling the recruiter, I do have a glucose machine which I just need to get new strips for. I just need to know if there is a possibility. I heard they will take my blood sample but as long as its not high and no trace of meds, its possible.
 
5'8, 230lbs (female)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyways to answer your question... no you won't get it. They barely want women in the first place... let alone ones with diabetes.
 
Yes if you are not on any prescription meds for this you could do it. I will tell you this though let this be the last time you ever bring this up, do not mention it to a recruiter or any one. Loose the weight work with your glysemic index and stay off te prescriptions. That way you are not lying when you say no I take no prescription meds. get a glucose testing machine from wall mart and test yourself tell no one. There are drinks which can help level your blood sugar levels start taking them all so white beans. If you want to get in you will have to loose that weight but it will be worth it. Good luck and e mail me if you have questions.
