and strive to accomplish the work you desire, but "where"
exactly you can work is definitely slightly limited.
The FBI says no to diabetics
One such example of an area in which will not employ you due
to diabetes is the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Of
course not everybody aspires to be a member of this elite
governmental agency, but if you have always wanted to work for
the FBI, then having diabetes means that you must look for
another line of work. The FBI has a strict policy called a
"blanket ban" which denies employment to specific groups of
people. One of these groups are men and women who require
insulin.
You may not think it's fair for the FBI to practice such
discriminatory action for people that have diabetes, but
because the policy is so strict, there is no additional
background information on individual which would change the
rules. It doesn't matter how healthy you are, how young you
are, or how well you manage your diabetes, if you need insulin
then you are automatically shut out from the opportunity to
work at the FBI.
The Military says no to diabetics
Joining the armed forces is one of most patriotic decisions
a person can make. I should know because I personally served
eight years in the United States Navy. It was the best time of
my life and I'll always feel proud for obligating myself to
serve the duty in which I felt I owed to this great country.
However, had I been a diabetic then there would be no chance at
all in signing up.
Just like the FBI and its policies, the military won't even
consider accepting a man or woman that has diabetes, regardless
of what type and how well it is managed. You are ineligible to
serve. And if a person is currently serving in the military and
then gets diagnosed with diabetes, either type 1 or type 2,
then they may be discharged automatically and sent home to
search out a different career.
Although it doesn't make that much sense, those of the
rules. There are many people who successfully manage their
diabetes and can do a great deal service to their country, but
unlike other military services around the world, the United
States will not take the risk.
