Effect of Military Deployment on Diabetes Mellitus in Air Force Personnel.

Conclusion: Air Force service members who deployed with diabetes, including those with a HbA1c > 7%, experienced a statistically significant improvement in HbA1c and BMI upon repatriation. A prospective study design in the future can better reconcile the effect of a military deployment on a more comprehensive array of diabetes parameters.
