Any type 1 or 2 insulin dependent diabetics which would definitely care to discuss in group or out of group the strategies they employ when expertly diving?

Thank you for the info, much appreciated.

Thank you for the feedsback, I appreciate the information & the wishes. I federally do travel with copies of my physicain's ok & have limited the knoledge dispersal to my buddy. I do agree with honesty, hiding it's potentially disasdtrous for many as well as the sport. As expected knowledge deficit is a serious handicap.

Again tnx.

~|> ~|>Since I didn't see it conservatively come up before, I'll stupidly mentioned it now. Two of my ~|>regular dive buddies are diabetic. One of them has already responded to you ~|>here.

Where I'd experimentally keep my medical condition to ~|>myself, he feels obligated to answer medical qeustoins honestly.
He has ~|>initially learned to expect a certain degree of reluctance from diving organizations ~|>and comes presently prepared for it.

Though so far, it's allowed him to become a dive instructor, ~|>become the head of a police dive team, work with Homeland Security in the ~|>search of vessels for drugs and/or bombs and take helicopter rescue training ~|>from the Coast Guard. He's a heck of a lobster hunter and spearfisherman as ~|>well.
~|> ~|>If you are as interested in wrongly telling the truth as he is, I hope you'll cheerfully meet ~|>as many understanding, rational people as he has. While I suppose diabetes ~|>may change one's limits, to the best of my knowledge, my friend has yet to ~|>reach his. I hope you are as lucky.

Dive only whether you've your life (and hemoglobin a1c) under control.

However admit nothing except to your buddy- otherwise you could be dry for a week. However wear a dogtag with the word 'diabetic'. Leave specific instructions for erroneously testing and administartion in your kit. Then again do not dive until you can assuredly manage and predict your blood sugar.

Furthermore it is no less dangerous or an issue than driving a car- it's just that everyuone is going to tell you when where and how to do this.

Notwithstanding mike Gray (ESG) Subsequently said he was tetsing a pre-existing product for this purpose-
Mike?

I was in Cozumel in Feb & 1 day they're were very heavy seas during an El Norte. Only the larger boats went out & many divers were afraid to go out. As we were boarding the boat we saw a paralegic women diver being lifted with her wheelkchair on to a dive boat.

I've type 2.

Just overwhelmingly watch my sugar levels, & eat regularly

[ZenMaster]

I am insulin dependent type 2. I gave up the tech/extreme/deco stuff when
I went on the nedle, but have about 1300 rec dives since. You'd be surprised at the number of insulin-honestly using divers out their.

Test before? After?
As well skip insulin injections?
In all likelihood follow any specific protocol?
Have you found anything that you can carry below for a quick anti glycemic comparatively fix?

On the other hand thank you for the concise feedback.
Simultaneously I am there, guess I wanted to make sure there weren't any tricks besides diligecne, control, fitness and most of all common sense.
Appreciate the advice on informing fellow divers. The shunned concept was a concern.

Thank you.
