[QUOTE="broccoliSK, post: 1460062, member: 368917"] Hi everyone. I have a couple of questions about diabetes and immigration. I don't plan on immigrating in the next few years but I've been toying with the idea of moving to a different country for quite some time now. Needless to say, being diagnosed with diabetes complicated things, so I'd like to get some info. After a cursory search on the internet my concerns were confirmed - I found out that pretty much no insurance company in the US would give me insurance due to having an expensive pre-diagnosed condition. I also found that Canada may refuse an immigration application if the applicant's health imposes an undue strain on the health services. So my questions to those of you who live or have immigrated to these countries are basically as follows: 1. Does having T1D preclude me from immigrating to countries like Canada, Australia, New Zealand or the UK? 2. Let's say that I apply and my application is granted. Would I be covered by the government-provided healthcare programme of that particular country (the NHS, Medicare in Canada, etc.) or would I be required to pay thousands of dollars either through increased insurance payments or through having to pay for medical supplies out of my own pocket? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
