Diabetes should not prevent someone serving in the British armed forces

Petition Details

Diabetics should be able to join the military due to the modern technological advances that occur everyday. Managing the condition is second nature to most diabetics therefore I believe it should not be considered a risk as those who are insulin dependent know how to handle it and live with it.
