I asked this question to a professional surgeon once. he told me 'so long as the blood sugar levels are monitored more frequently there is nothing wrong with any normal activity. During sports like diving and swimming energy is used alot quicker so your blood sugar levels may drop quicker, but not in a big way. so long as a normal diet and good safety practice is used i cant see a reason why not to.'
if you have a doctor or consultant ask them. if not ask a Scuba company whether they have any rules against diabetics going diving. ---- I would add that this depends on how advanced and controlled your Diabetes is. If you're prone to unconsciousness (which is pretty acute), or experience severe seizures, then you can't SCUBA dive. I've had the opportunity to work with advanced diabetics who did in fact experience severe seizure activity, and we were unable to develop a safe profile that would either allow them to safely continue the dive, predict the seizure, or effectively bail out in an emergency, even with a rescuer. Additionally, in cases of disabetes where blood circulation is impaired, there is the potential for a variety of SCUBA related problems, ranging from extremely annoying all the way to fatal. I am not aware of any research having been done on this and, until it is, if you have circulatory failures related to diabetes, I would nix diving until more reesarch has been completed.

Do you have to be a certain weight or body type to be a scuba diver?
No, you don't need a certain body type to scuba dive. Because you use flippers to SCUBA dive, you can be a very lousy swimmer and learn to SCUBA dive. You may look stupid with a very tight wet suit during scuba diving, but you can dive. When I got certified, I learned that you have a very slightly higher chance of the Bends during scuba diving, but this is a small percentage. The pros of scuba diving outweigh the cons.
