I'm so happy to find this forum, as I'm diabetic type 2 and have wanted to learn to dive for many years... When I finally found the courage I was told by many people that I couldn't do it... I'm very scared of getting any kind of inflammation, I do check very often with Diabetic Foot Monitoring - Feetsee device, to prevent it, but still... Can anyone with the same situation send me some support?

I am not diabetic, but I would recommend that you read the following webpage for the current guidelines for divers with diabetes - Diabetes and Diving

I'd recommend you see a physician who is trained and experienced in examining divers just to make sure you don't have any associated health conditions that could preclude diving. Where in Colorado are you?
