I doubt the availability of needles and insulin is factored into our medical standards for recruitment. The health complications associated with diabetes and the confliction with military conditions are the prime factors for rejecting a candidate.

That said, I have flown in AFG and Iraq with diabetics and a transgender navigator. The sky didn't fall in either case.
