My guess is it's illegal for them to discriminate on that basis as long as it doesn't stop you from performing your job.

No. I just left the VA and worked with several diabetics who had it before they where hired. Like the last post stated it is illegal for them not to hire you because you are a diabetic.

Remember thou the hiring process at the VA is a long, drawn out process. It takes 60-90 days to get hired.
