If you are a diver with diabetes, what do you take aboard in case of a low sugar event? Does the dive boat standard, oranges, work?

DAN’s latest guidance makes one thing clear: diabetes isn’t an automatic stop sign for diving, but it does demand honest conversations and thoughtful prep. Hypoglycemia risks, hydration concerns, medication timelines, depth limits, the whole picture matters.

What stands out is the emphasis on trends rather than single numbers. Three pre-dive checks, a safe entry window between 150 and 300 mg/dL, buddies who know your plan, and glucose ready topside keep things grounded and responsible.

It’s a practical, real-world look at how divers with diabetes are safely exploring reefs and wrecks every day.

I love this perspective on travel diving from Spacefish Army! Fortunately, St. Thomas is a diving paradise with so many dive spots to see and dive friends to go with!

Travel helps us be better divers and inspires new designs! 🤿🌊 #scubadiving #divelife #divetravel #inspirational #spacefisharmy
