Guest mariaacaroglu Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Hi can anyone help me I need some advice. I have a sponsord visa and am on my way to Oz with hubby and three children in 16 days but I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a few days ago. I was hoping to apply for permanent residency in 2 years and am realy worried now that this will have an affect on our application as we were not intending on comming back to the Uk. Can anyone give me info on how this might affect us and do you need another medical for permanent visa application. Many thanks:no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WARDStoOZ Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Hi and to PomsinOz!!! Please don't worry, that should not be a problem for your visa, you will usually need to re-do meds for applying for PR but so many people have diabetes and it is no way near as serious as HIV/Aids/TB so hopefully it shouldn't be a problem, Good Luck with the move!!!

Guest The Pom Queen Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Hi Maria As long as it can be controlled you should be fine. Why not have a quick word with your agent who can probably reassure you more. Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest littlesarah Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 At the risk of sounding pedantic (& argumentative) I really feel I should point out that it is not really correct to compare HIV or TB with diabetes & conclude it is 'less serious'. Every day I see people with diabetes who have pretty serious medical problems related to their condition. In terms of mortality and morbidity, diabetes is a huge problem. It costs the health economy a small fortune every year. From a migration point of view, once your blood glucose control becomes established your risk of complications will dramatically reduce. I'm pretty sure it won't make any difference to your PR application. Try not to worry, & good luck with everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Sarah, I perfectly understand your point, I was just trying to make the OP feel a bit happier about things but I do agree with you that it costs the health service a fortune and for some can be very serious, Dan xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smiler77 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 HI, Please dont worry, Type 2 diabetes has become a common condition which is usually easily controlled . I would think it bizarre if your PR was affected by this, am sure someone on here will have gone through this and be able to clarify. Enjoy your new adventure x Smiles Tracy ;0) Sorry, while i was writing a few posts were added, there is a big difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes with the major percentage of complications occuring with type 1, I am sure you are aware of this and would have researched it when diagnosed. . Again please dont worry ;0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Hi Maria, My cousin is going to apply for Australian permanent visa and she is diabetic. She takes insulin 3 time a day, however she is completely healthy and has no issue with the organs or any body parts. Just want to know the updates from your side whether have you have secured the Australian permanent residency being a diabetic. You may also email me on xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

ABG Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 With correct lifestyle changes T2D can be reversed, especially if it is newly diagnosed and you are on oral medication. Most (UK) doctors don't have time to try reverse the condition so they focus on slowing progression, but if you eat clean and exercise it is readily achievable. http://www.ncl.ac.uk/magres/research/diabetes/reversal.htm I'd really recommend trying to make those changes as whilst diabetes is now seen as not a serious disease, it is. It is one of the greatest contributors to death in the world and leads to some awful morbidities such as heart disease, kidney disease, eyesight loss, limb amputations etc. Sorry, to sound all preachy, but my work is in the field of preventative care for T2D (currently developing a product that is targeting prediabetes/impaired glucose tolerance).

The regulations change constantly and it is rarely a good thing to use posts that are so old. In matters with health issues, it is important to seek good advice from a registered migration agent that specialises in visas with health issues. George Lombard is one that is highly recommended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
