Unfortunately no. If you are already in the military there are options depending on your insulin dependency or lack thereof. A person will typically be medically discharged. You cannot join if it is a preexisting condition and will not even make it to MEPS.

It depends on whether you are insulin dependent or not. I you require an insulin injection to maintain your bloodsugar then chances are, NO you will not be allowed to join. If you are not insulin dependent then it's more of a case by case basis. The better you are able to control your sugars, the better the chances.

The military needs healthy individuals to serve. Health issues such as this will prevent one from passing the entry physical. And if you do not reveal the condition, you can be discharged when it is discovered.
