I tried to start diving but was told 'no' by my doctor. I'm in good control (A1c is 6.6) but she was worried about me diving too deep and not being able to get to surface quick enough for a hypo.

YSCUBA is finally allowing diabetic divers now, but there are no training facilities close enough to my residence. I'm kinda bummed about the whole ordeal.
