Hi Lianne1985
Don’t know how long you have been diving for and what level you are at
But there are issues with diving safety and diabetes
<font color="purple">Divers with diabetes are at risk of sudden loss of consciousness. This carries the ultimate risk of drowning and implies additional risks for their dive buddies. Individuals with diabetes, however well the diabetes is controlled, should not be deemed as fit to dive without restriction. Those who meet certain criteria can dive provided they dive in accordance with detailed, specific procedures</font id="purple">
Also most standard travel insurance will not cover a diabetic diver
You may have to get specific dive insurance to cover you .
see UK SPORT Diving Medical Guidelines
http://www.bsac.org/page/181/diabetes-mellitus.htm
Also see DAN if diving out side the UK as most will follow what
DAN has to say

DAN diver Insurance is not too bad

I am also a diver and advanced diving instructor for 25 years
Also a very new diabetic and know I will NOT be getting in the water,
Until I have this under very good control, even then my diving will be limited from the deep tec diving that I have been enjoying over the years :evil:
