I think the concern wouldn't be the fact you are type 1, rather the concern would be is it well controlled. I suppose if you're more in the office than the field, you could get an insulin pump, whereas if you're in the field, you still could but I'd imagine there is a higher rate of it being damaged. If you can control it fairly well, then I think there wouldn't be any problem.

I can rip you off, and steal all your cash, suckerpunch you in the face, stand back and laugh. Leave you stranded as fast as a heart-attack.
