Diabetes and NZIS
Hi, this might be too specific for anyone on the forum to help with but here goes. I've got diabetes type 1 (several daily injections) and have had it for over 20 yrs. My HbA1c's over the last few years have been over 8 and I am currently trying to bring it down. Does the NZIS medical check have a cutoff value of HbA1c where they'll refuse me a visa on medical grounds ?
I dont have any complications yet and the regular checkups seem to go ok (touch wood). |
Re: Diabetes and NZIS
Hi there.
I quote what NZIS have to say about acceptable standards of health . You would probably be looking at a 'medical referral' judging by the posts we see here. People with high BMI have gone through the medical referral process. Here is a link to NZ diabetes organisation. They may be able to give you a guide to costs. What is Type 1 diabetes? Type 1 diabetes is an 'auto-immune' condition. Please note that per Appendix 10 of the NZIS operations manual it states..... Severe autoimmune disease, currently being treated with immuno-suppressants other than prednisone Jan n Neil availed (click the link) themselves of an advisor that did them good service. Perhaps ask them for the details.
