Can A Person With Type 2 Diabetes Enter Into The Military?

Question: Can a person with Type 2 Diabetes enter into the military?

I have been wondering this for a very long while since I had Type 2 Diabetes.

Almost all my friends are joining the military, and I think I may want to too, just because of the benefits, and to pay for college.

All the questions on here are about Type 1 Diabetes and I haven’t found any answers for Type II Diabetes.

No, I am not on insulin yet. It is controlled with diet for Type 2 Diabetes and I live as if I do not have diabetes.

Any Type 2 Diabetes Daily Diet Plan Suggestions?

Question: Any Type 2 Diabetes Daily Diet Plan suggestions?

Hello, I am 33, male and weigh 72 kg and live in the Persian Gulf.

I used to weigh 81 kg. I was diagnosed for Diabetes Type 2 almost 4 years back. My fasting BGL (Blood Glucose Level) ranges from 110-145.

Doctor has prescribed me metformin (500mg) twice daily after meals, but I have stopped this medicine as I don’t feel like I should take it at this age.

Also because of the medicine, I don’t indulge in physical activity like cycling, walking and etc.

I informed my doctor for stopping the medicine and he says the best medicine for Type 2 Diabates is walking and keeping myself physically fit.

Please advise me what should be the daily meal plan that I should follow in order to keep my BGL normal. Should I go by 3 normal meals a day or 3 small meals and 2 snacks in between?

If I go for 3 normal meals + 1 hr physical activity daily then which is better choice for me from the menu below.

Breakfast: Which is better choice Weetabix/Oats or just whole meal bread with Light Jam Spread + Tea (no sugar).

Lunch: Beans (Red Beans/Butter Beans/Kidney Beans etc…) + White Rice or Fish/Chicken + Rice

Dinner: Light Tuna Sandwich + Vegetable Soup or Brown Pasta + Green Salad

Thanks.
