Do diabetics get drafted in America?
DIabetics would be exempt from the draft if it was initiated. Diabetics can serve, but they need a waiver. It is not a great idea for an insulin dependent diabetic to join or serve in the Army as a supply of insulin and refrigeration would not be available to deployed service members. Even those service members on oral medication cannot depend on a supply for refill in all situations, and there is the risk that they could be captured, it is doubtful most of the countries we currently combat are signatories of or would follow the Geneva Convention Rules.
