Hi there,

Anyone out there emigrated with Type 1 children? How was your visa application, how easy was it for your child to be fitted into the medical system over in NZ? It would be lovely if anyone can share their experience......

We are leaving for NZ in 3 months. My son is Type 1, 8 years old, been Type 1 since 18 months old. Very well managed since, HbA1c is between 43-46 mmol all year round. We are from the UK, our consultant has written to the specialist in NZ. They have included me in their email exchange and we already talked about use of pump and medication management etc. Our consultant has also prepared a detail medical report to support my son's visa application. We are keen to hear from parents with children who have gone through this journey.

Many thanks
PG
