DIABETES and DIVE

this weekend from September 13 to 16, took place in Marseille, the medical study on the use of Nitrox in diabetic divers.

16 volunteer divers have tested throughout 5 dives on the islands of Marseille, their glycemic profile reaction using a Nitrox 32% mixture.

data were collected by 6 divers equipped with “holter” (a device that allows continuous recording), whose receiver was placed in a camera case, during the immersions.

the results of this study will be used to try to demonstrate that the use of Nitrox would allow greater safety for these “private” divers, with the final aim of relaxing the very strict regulations which allow them to dive.

Note: no diving incident directly related to diabetes, only a recalcitrant ear, and some nausea due to a slightly agitated sea.

A journalist of SCUBA PEOPLE accompanied us during our dives, you will be entitled to a great article soon, accompanied by videos.
