Will I even get through MEPS for a past "ailment"?
I had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant in 2010. Will this disqualify me at MEPS. It went away after birth,and I had another child in 2012 and did NOT get Gestational Diabetes during that pregnancy. I have been tested for diabetes since my son was born in 2012 and I do not have Diabetes. I was told the only reason I was declared to have Gestational Diabetes in 2010 because I was 1 point over the scale(they would've liked me to stay within the scale range) and the only treatment I had to do for Gestational Diabetes was proper diet and exercise.I did not have to take insulin injections or pills or anything rather than just maintain an appropriate diet and exercise. The rest of my medical history is squeaky clean,and my legal history is squeaky clean. Please tell me this won't disqualify me because I caved and drank a 4 oz. glass of orange juice 6 hrs before my glucose test while pregnant 3 years ago.... Thanks for any information.
Sorry for failing to disclose this... I have not worked with any recruiters yet. I spoke with one briefly and I am now on the course of getting 15 College Semester Credits before I am able to join. I was just curious about the MEPS disqualifications because I heard that Gestational Diabetes was an instant disqualification/fail. I just don't understand how that would be an issue with it being that one pregnancy out of 5 that I ended up getting Gestational Diabetes, and have not been diagnosed since(including during another pregnancy),and with no other medical problems.Thanks :)
ALSO,I am not trying to be rude at all. I understand rules and regs. are there for a reason. I understand the Military instills these rules for a reason. I guess what I was really asking is,is there a chance that I may be able to get a waiver for this? I do understand that this may stop me from joining,but I can't say it wouldn't crush me in the process...

Have you asked your/any recruiters?
If it is a problem, it seems like it would be waiver-able, but that's just an opinion.

High blood levels of glucose can cause several problems, including frequent urination, excessive thirst, hunger, fatigue, weight loss, and blurry vision. However, because type 2 diabetes develops slowly, some people with high blood sugar experience no symptoms at all. How to treat diabetes naturally https://tr.im/ANr6l
Symptoms of type 1 diabetes:
Increased thirst
Increased urination
Weight loss in spite of increased appetite
Fatigue
Nausea
Vomiting
Patients with type 1 diabetes usually develop symptoms over a short period of time, and the condition is often diagnosed in an emergency setting.
Symptoms of type 2 diabetes:
Increased thirst
Increased urination
Increased appetite
Fatigue
Blurred vision
Slow-healing infections
Impotence in men
If you think you have diabetes i think you should have a checkup and speak with your doctor just in case.

The Standards are there for a reason. History or current diabetes is PDQ. ABOUT.COM is out-dated info, just warning. I have never heard of someone joining with diabetes or previous diabetes, have you?
