According to the Medical Mannual issued by MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station) "Diabetes involving the use of insulin, even if controlled, is disqualifying". This is the guideline used by all military branches.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Im not sure, but I doubt it they as any military branch are strict with health issues and diabetes is one that can be very dangerous especially if the person is too busy and dont take time to eat then they got trouble on thier hands.

No. His illness would restrict his ability to do whatever the Military needs. The basic requirement of all people in the military is to be able to serve in combat situations. You friend would not be able to do that. The military cannot function by having people that would be limited to a few duties.
I admire your friend for wanting to serve our country. There are many thing he can do to serve our country and the Troops. Many organization, that do this, are in need to volunteers to help.

NO. A person in the military is subject to deployment with just a few hours notice.
someone who has certain medical conditions are not
eligible. Even bad teeth can keep you out.

if he has type one diabetes then he wouldn't be able to get into the military.
The military requires you to be in great health condition before and during your duty.
