| The problem lies in that rules are tough for a reason. If they allowed ANYONE to dive that had diabetes, then those that have terrible control may dive. You get 10 of them over a span of say 10 years and they have problems at 100m, then you may have a huge rule changed that could just refuse allowing diabetics to dive.
I know of this from personal experience and working in the police world. There are a bunch of huge changes going on in the state of Ohio that a firearm cannot be drawn on anyone that shows any sign of mental instability. Basically meaning that if someone that is bi-polar comes charging at an officer with a sawed off shotgun, the officer can't use a gun on them, they have to use a non lethal force.
Sometimes I understand that places make it too hard, but you have to look at what happens when there aren't rules to govern certain items. We have lawsuits and frivilous rule changes that hurt more than they help.
