Diabetes type 1

Cilli · 2013-03-31 08:36:55

Hi I'm wondering if type 1 diabetes will prevent you from getting into the guards. My son applied a few years ago and is waiting for the recruitment embargo to be lifted. He has since developed type 1 diabetes. There are mixed messages out there about this. Can anyone clarify for me please. Thanks
