[QUOTE="Special_K, post: 42974, member: 2510"] I can sympathise with the first post. I did the same. I was a cadet for years and was going to join the RAF when diagnosed with Type 1. That was that dream gone. In the eyes of the DDA a member of the Armed Forces must be considered as combat effective no matter what trade they fill (even driving a desk is out of the question at the moment). Therefore unfortunately this excludes any diabetic from service. I would keep one eye on the DDA as I understand there have been some changes that now mean that diabetics can now join the police (with good control of BM's). As I think was mentioned earlier but has your son thought of joining any of the cadet forces, I am now an adult instructor and get to partake in many of the opportunites available to regular personell (albeit on a smaller scale) [/QUOTE]
