Scuba Forum / Australian Scuba / December 2004Can you still dive with diabetes?
G'day, I have recently been diagnosed with mild diabetes which is controlled with diet and exercise and no medications required. My question is: can I still scuba dive? Is there any laws/regulations prohibitting me from further scuba diving? Many thanks. Ron Sure just dont tell anyone. > G'day, I have recently been diagnosed with mild diabetes which is > controlled [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Ron >G'day, I have recently been diagnosed with mild diabetes which is controlled >with diet and exercise and no medications required.

You have diabetes or not , there's no mild form of diabates In Holland you can dive with diabetes, only there are extra things for your medical licence there is for that no diffence between type 1or type 2 diabetes , your blood sugar levels must be for a long time at a good level , your condition must be 100 precent en you body should be able to endure pysical en mental stress, plan your dive - dive your plan , avoid decompresion dives and heavy weather you must be able at any time to abort your dive when you think you are having a hypo , your buddy must be "normal" (no diabetes) ... hehehehe , you should be able to control your diabetes at your own and you shoudend have micro-albuminurie don't know what it is but enjoy it _[:]0 For me i'm diving with type 2 and using metformine 3x850 no problems, eh no problems pfffffffffff metformine gives me diaria and give new dimensions to my wetsuit when i'm dive in cold water 2/3 degrees C Gerard Greetings from Holland Grtz Gerard Sens _[:]o mmmm, ask you doc for Diaformin or Diamicron MR?
