Question

diabetes: MEB?

I'm currently active duty navy, and the specialist doctor I am seeing just diagnosed me with diabetes. Here are the questions I have.

Does the navy allow a sailor with diabetes to stay in?
Should I be expecting an MEB?
If they do want to do a MEB on me, are they going to discharge me, or retire me?
If I get retired, what kind of rating do you think I'll get?

I'd really appreciate any input! Thanks guys.

They are pobalby not going to let you stay with diabetes.

How did they come to this diagnosis? Did they run a HBA1C on your blood? How high is your sugar? These days doctors seem to love finding everybody diabetic.

How much time do you have in? What is your rank?

The more information you provide will help in providing a better answer.

Good luck

I have 2 years in, and I'm an E-3 getting ready to test for E-4.

WHat type of diabetes and what is your blood sugar level?
Are you taking medication or using diet and exercise to control it?
