Hello, just hit 7 years and got put up for med board due to going DKA right before New Years. I had just PCS's from Korea into Elmendorf in the middle of December, two weeks later bam... hospital. From what I have read I need to drag this thing out to my 8 year mark to even mark the first notch for Medical Retirement. Im Mil to Mil, so the wife will have to finish her tour if I am booted. I'm on leave and just got a text from the boss that my commander marked do not retain. Already getting started on the wrong foot. The commander made a note for them to retain until deros seeing as how I wont be going anywhere until wife finishes hers. From what I heard that note is just being nice because that isnt how med boards work. Either im fit, or im not.
Currently I am NOT on insulin. I am on pancreatic beta cell boosters because Im honey mooning. Pancreas kicked back on and is working until... who knows. I still have a doctors appointment to confirm anti bodies and that I am for sure Type 1. From what I have read on how the ratings work for diabetics. It is going to hurt me that Im sort of healthy right now rather than not being on insulin and no limitations for physical activity. Has anyone who has RECENTLY went through a diabetic MEB, got any advice or can tell me how much longer I have in the air force? I know ever case is different but any help would be great.
