I would like to join the peace corps but i don't know if they allow diabetics? I have my diabetes under control, but i know i still can't serve in the armed forces. Anyone know the Peace Corps' stance? I have it under control, I was just wondering if it was an issue, and if Insulin would be available wherever I would go? I definitely don't want to be caught without access to my medicine in a new country.

I have done a lot of research in the Peace Corps, because I was considering volunteering with them. I never saw anything about medical issues being a deciding factor. I would say as long as it is under control it's probably not a factor. If it was still something you were struggling with, then it may have been an issue because you would have been a higher risk of needing treatment and the areas you would be working in probably don't have good hospitals.
