I don't see any reason why you can't just because you're diabetic.
yes.
anyone can beocme a doctor. My uncle is a diabetic and is a doctor. What matters is how you treat people not how your health is. You should be all set.
Yes, it is possible for a diabetic to become a doctor. If you are worried about your condition affecting your ability to study, then you should contact the ADA advisor for the university that you plan on attending. If you have a physical limitation that may affect the way that you study or take exams, then by law the university must make accomodations for you.
Yes, you can become a doctor. You can do anything you put your mind to. With you probably having diabetes your self you may even be able to understand some of your patients problem and illnesses better, because you have some of the problems yourself.
What kind of Doctor do yu want to be?
u jus hav to hav the willpower and u can defintly b a doctor..now i am diabetic type one and i am a research scientist(though mine was diagnosed later) but it didnt really make a difference
Yes, you can do anything you want if you set your mind to it
I have met doctors who have Type 1 diabetes. It's not a problem and no state that I know of bars a diabetic doctor from practicing. For that matter, I would prefer an endocrinologist who had it - he would know what I am going through!
yer i cart see y not if that what you really want to do
Of course they can.
Yes; that's what i wanna be and i'm diabetic.
I don't see why there is a reason for a diabetic to be not able to be a doctor.
The answer to your question depends on how well you manage your diabetes. You may want to talk to your endocrinologist to see if you are a good candidate for an insulin pump. It simplifies injections (once every 2-3 days) and allows you to skip meals if needed (not recommended)
You will need to make sure that you take care of your health and your condition.
I am a nursing student and a type 1 diabetic.
good luck
Yes, you should be able to become a doctor; however, I would suggest becoming something other than a surgeon, because of all the time they spend on their feet. That might be problematic, but I can't think of any reason you couldn't become a general practitioner or specialist.
yea..my doctor has had type 1 diabetes since he was a teen.
If your diabetes is under control, and you manage it effectively, there's no reason why it should stop you doing anything you want to. Further to previous answers - I know that diabetes type one can be a serious condition and shouldn't be taken lightly. Type 2 is the more prevalent strain, but that should be taken seriously too, so your question has relevance.
If you have concerns, discuss this with your doctor. There is no reason why you shouldn't live a normal life with diabetes, provided you take care of yourself and keep on top of your treatment and medication.
Best of luck.
Of course you can become a doctor. I know several doctors and nurses who are diabetics. Your insight into chronic health problems would probably make you a very good doctor and an example to others.

I am currently starting my 4th year of medical school. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes after 2 days of my Senior year of high school. Between college and med school (I wasn't accepted right away - not d/t DM) I taught for a year. You can do whatever you want (except drive a truck interstates because the companies don't want your sugar going low and passing out while your driving a big long trailor)
NOTE: If you haven't already, I STRONGLY reccomend the pump, because the schedule is rather hectic. I got mine in college so I would know all about its workings before med school, and it is a TREMENDOUS help!
Good Luck!
Hello! Yes you can become a doctor - diabetes is not contagious so go out there and do your bit and see if you can cure this bloody nuisance of a disease! Good luck!
I think so, but they can't become a paramedic. You would have a very hard time controlling your diabetes if you were a hospital doctor as the hours are long and tiring. And sometimes you may have to go without food for a long period if something needed your attention.
i would recommend going into a practice as you can do whatever hours you like then and no pressure.
Diabetes is a condition NOT an illness, get a life.

of course you can good luck
i would say yes it would probaly make u stay healthyer and b more aware cuz u dealing with other people that may have it so dont let dieabetes stop u go for ur dream
of course, and it does not matter how many hours you'd be stuck in the hospital: you should be the one looking after your own health, and by that I mean, if you don't get a break from work (whether or not in a hospital), you MUST have something to eat to keep your sugar level ok. Then you could be almost any kind of doctor, except maybe for a vascular or neurosurgeon, because those surgeries can last 14 hours and longer.
I dont know if you can, but I hope so. I am a type 1 diabetes also, and I hope to become an endercronoligest. (I think thats how you spell it) But I know a friend of mine is a doctor and is a long term diabetic.
Hope that helps
