Diabetes should not prevent someone serving in the British armed forces
Diabetics should be able to join the military due to the modern technological advances that occur everyday. Managing the condition is second nature to most diabetics therefore I believe it should not be considered a risk as those who are insulin dependent know how to handle it and live with it.

Allow people with coeliac disease to join the armed forces
I would like the Government to supply gluten free food/ration packs for people with coeliac disease so that people with the disease can join the armed forces.
Remove driving licence renewal restrictions for type 1 diabetics
Upon declaring their condition to the DVLA, people with insulin-treated type 1 diabetes are currently required to renew their Driving Licence every three years. We think this is unfair and unnecessary. Renewal should be every 10 years, like it is for most other people.
