marcop1 Posted February 23, 2019 at 10:26 AM Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 at 10:26 AM Hey this is my first post here. I was just curious will diabetes be an issue while I get my health check up done in china for my temporary residence permit? Any help would be appreciated.

mungouk Posted February 23, 2019 at 03:24 PM Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 at 03:24 PM Hi and welcome to the forums. There is no mention of diabetes on the form to fill in before you go. They're more interested in communicable diseases and "disorders endangering the public order and security". I couldn't comment on what happens when you get to China as I haven't got that far myself yet. There's some discussion of the medical over on this recent thread.

abcdefg Posted February 23, 2019 at 11:14 PM Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 at 11:14 PM If your diabetes is under control, as shown by basic blood and urine screening tests, you won't have a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawei3 Posted February 25, 2019 at 05:59 PM Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 at 05:59 PM Marcop1, If you do go, bring all of your medicines & insulin with you. In China, it's hard to know the quality of the drug and/or the insulin (and vaccines) that you buy. I can't comment on health check & your residence permit.

The health check I had as a student in China included a basic blood chemistry and a basic urinalysis. If those screening tests are still required today, then I stick with my earlier posting that if these results were seriously out of whack, questions would be raised. For example, if your blood sugar came back as 600 and the urine glucose dipsticked 4+ it would raise eyebrows and trigger further investigation even in a very relaxed testing environment.

I can't speak for abcdefg's hypothetical situation, but for what it's worth, I've never had to provide a urine sample in all the times I've had health checks in China between 2006 and 2014.

roddy Posted February 26, 2019 at 08:34 AM Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 at 08:34 AM Can't ever remember anyone having a problem. It's not infectious, it's manageable, it's hardly unknown in China. Let us know how you get on, but I don't think it's anything to worry about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
