I’m in the army reserve and my brother in law wants to join. I’m wondering if he would be able to get a waver for his type 1 diabetes. He’s in college right now and he wants to know if he can join through an officer ROTC program if he doesn’t get approved in MEPs.

Can My Brother In Law Join The Army If He Has Type 1 Diabetes?

Absolutely not ! The Pentagon does not deliberatly take on the role of care taker, at least not knowingly! Diabetes is a deal breaker !
Diabetes, both Type 1 and Type 2, is disqualifying for entry into the armed forces. The source below is the medical standard.
They denied me re-enlistment last year due to adult onset type2 diabetes, so I doubt it. (Sucks, I know.)
nope.. sorry
NOPE…
No
