Medical tests for New Zealand

Well we did our medical checks and for my wife and daughter everything was fine but not for me :-(
The doc found sugar in my urine (and my waist was a bit over) so I had to make an appointment for additional tests which indicated I have diabetes.

I came home 4 days after the tests and a big envelope came from the doctor which contained the results for the 3 of us in a sealed envelope for the New Zealand Embassy and a piece of paper informing me I have diabetes and should see a doctor. Not a pleasant way of bringing this info to me but hell I've got to live with it.

Anyhow went to see my GP and he did a new test and he had to admit the blood sugar is a bit high so I have to go and see him tomorrow and see what we can do.

Now for my visa application this would mean a possible and likely delay of 6 to 8 weeks which sucks because I quite my current job already as of the 1st of November so I need to be in New Zealand around that time as well to commence my new job.

So I will try to get a visa for 5 months (no health checks required) and will go for an extension immediately after arriving in Wellington.

Will keep you updated!
