Shellybingobingo Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 If ya worried a bout ya medical for a diabetic ...don't be ...unless it's un managed , my son had been in intensive care twice with ketoacidosis ...nearly ended up with cerabal edema ...but they stabilised him ....luckily and was fine ....and he's managed his diabetes ever since that point his medical was the same has ours no different just ask questions to him ...they then were referred for two weeks then we had the visa grant . Obviously if I was worried in anyway I wouldn't take advice from a forum niether common sense tells you to get professional advice if u worried .

MaggieMay24 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Everybody's medical situation will be different, so one applicant with diabetes may have no issues while another could have their visa refused. If your husband has a medical condition that could raise the attention of DIBP, you'd be well-advised to speak with a registered migration agent. George Lombard and Peter Bollard are two that are most often mentioned for applicants with medical conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 When we went for our medicals, we were advised if we had any conditions to take information to submit with the medical reports. My son was under a paediatrician - who wrote a letter, and I took letters from a consultant I'd seen. What they want to know is: What is the problem, what investigations or treatment; is is requiring ongoing treatment - what's the prognosis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toNjus Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Thanks for the replies. We're not worried about it, my oh manages his diabetise really well never had a problem since he's had it- 17 years. Of course we'll be getting professional advice but it's nice just to chat with other people who've been through the same thing, I know everyone is different. It was if we needed forms from Drs to get them know or just leave it till we do the Medicals. Round where we live it can take at least 6 weeks to see a Dr for anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy1 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Oh yea go along to the doctor , and ask ...get professional advice ....why post on a forum the normal thing to do wud just go doctors in first place lol I believe he was referring to professional advice, as in that of a migration agent.

Shellybingobingo Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I never got anything off doctor ...never asked us to ...the best thing you can do is ring up the clinic where you are having ya meds done and ask them what you need to bring ...I went Manchester for ours ...just give them a ring and tell them ya hubby's a diabetic is there anything you need us to bring with us ....but we never took anything apart from questions to my son his medical was exactly the same as ours nothing different ...and if he manages well and no other issues u will be fine I'm sure of it ...but just give them a ring and hear it from the horses mouth lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
