I am writing to you about a problem raised by a mother who would like to send her 12 year old son to a “Minisub” course. The boy suffers from insulin-dependent type 1 diabetes, has an insulin micro-infuser and, according to the mother, has a good glycaemic balance. The mother also states that her son plays other sports without any problems. I would like your medical opinion on the possibility of attending the course.

In general, diabetes mellitus (type I and II) is a pathological condition that necessarily requires a medical document certifying the diver’s fitness to dive, issued by a specialist in diving and hyperbaric medicine, in agreement with and under the supervision of the diabetologist and/or paediatrician who will follow the child. Do you know the maximum depth to which the pump can be taken? This information is usually provided by the device manufacturer. In the absence of this information, it is not safe for the boy to dive. During the dive, the intradermal sensor can remain in place, but the infusion pump must be removed.

Un joven se inscribió en un curso de buceo de primer nivel (18 metros). Al rellenar la sección del historial médico, tachó la casilla de diabetes. Me dijo que practicaba boxeo. Cuando le pedí que me diera más detalles, me entregó la hoja que le había expedido el Policlínico Tor Vergata de Roma, donde está en seguimiento continuo. Me pregunté si tenía alguna contraindicación para bucear.

ANSWER FROM DAN EXPERTS

[vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column el_class=”page-text”][vc_column_text]En general, la diabetes mellitus (tipo I y II) es una afección patológica que requiere necesariamente un documento médico que certifique
la aptitud del buceador para practicar este deporte, expedido por un especialista en medicina hiperbárica y buceo, de acuerdo con el diabetólogo que trata al paciente y bajo su supervisión. Sin este documento, no es seguro practicar el buceo. Sería útil conocer más detalles clínicos sobre esta persona, la terapia con insulina que está siguiendo, cuánto tiempo hace que se le diagnosticó la afección clínica, qué grado de familiaridad tiene con su afección y cómo ha evolucionado hasta la fecha. Es esencial que el buceador diabético alcance un buen nivel de autocontrol y autogestión de su afección clínica y de la terapia hipoglucémica o con insulina. Se recomienda encarecidamente que un especialista en medicina hiperbárica y buceo evalúe la aptitud física para el buceo.
