Highly unlikely.
If you have the sort of condition that requires daily insulin, it'll be an automatic "no", as the reqiuirement for insulin (and its refrigerated storage) prevents you from being 'world-wide deployable'. Unless you can be assigned to the undeveloped part of Lower Slobbovia with no special requirements, it's unlikely you'll be able to pass the medical requirements.
Sorry to disappoint.

And: "Servicemembers with diabetes mellitus will be observed an MEB “till hemoglobin A1c will be maintained at < (decrease than) 7% utilising purely existence type changes (nutrition plan, exercising).” military regulation 40-501, “criteria of medical health,” 3-eleven(d) (January 14, 2008). applicants for enlistement would request and be granted a waiver, yet could nonetheless meet the criteria for retention, and so those persons could take care of to administration their diabetes fullyyt with nutrition plan and exercising and preserve an A1C of seven% or a lot less. in addition, a individual already in a defense force position contained in the military who changed into clinically determined would not be observed an MEB and could take care of to proceed to be contained in the military as long as his or her diabetes changed into managed without drugs with an A1C of seven% or a lot less. those persons who attempt to enlist will be subject to the diabetes ban if clinically determined with diabetes requiring any type of drugs, or who do no longer take drugs yet have an A1C above 7%, because they gained't meet the criteria of retention."

For any medical condition it's "either -or,"
Either you can function without your meds or you don't get it.
You may be in an area where you are unable to get your meds for weeks on end. If that prents a problem, you re not medically qualified.
I'm sorry.
