US Army soldiers diagnosed with type 1 diabetes were previously considered unfit for duty. For highly motivated soldiers, current advanced technologies allow the possibility of not only retention on active duty, but military deployment. We present our experience at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, taking care of soldiers newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Through intensive diabetes education, extensive military and physical training, optimization of diabetes technology, and remote real-time monitoring, soldiers are able to continue to serve their country in the most specialized roles.
美国陆军中被诊断出患有1型糖尿病的士兵以前被认为不适合服役。对于积极性很高的士兵来说,当前的先进技术不仅使他们有可能继续服现役,甚至还能进行军事部署。我们介绍了我们在北卡罗来纳州布拉格堡照顾新诊断出1型糖尿病的士兵的经验。通过强化糖尿病教育、广泛的军事和体能训练、优化糖尿病技术以及远程实时监测,士兵们能够继续在最专业的岗位上为国家服务。
