Thank you so much for sharing this information. This is excellent feedback that people can learn from and very much appreciated. Type 2 is fairly common these days and many people lead normal lives with it, but this was a question on my mind because we just didnt know how CIC would treat it. You have clarified it for me. I just hope someone can
also comment on Cholesterol and what is the danger mark per CIC criteria and how they react to it. Many people from this part of the world (India/Pak/Bangladesh) are over 200. Wonder what CIC considers a redflag.

---PEOPLE WITH DIABETES DOING MEDICALS---
Just wanted to share my experience with medicals...as I believe future people might this info and suggestions useful.
We did our medicals at prescription point. Unfortunately my husband has type II diabetes and ofcourse it was a matter of great worry for us. So the first day when we went, all tests were done and my husband mentioned to to the doc about the diabetes med (metformin) that he is currently taking. So the doc ordered an extra test which is a creatine serum test that checks the kidney functionality (and we paid for this separately).
The next morning we got a call from prescription point as they found high sugar in his urinanalysis but his creatine test was normal along with everything else. So the doc ordered to repeat the urine test. So my husband went again the next day (which was last Thursday) and gave urine sample again. Today (Sunday) finally the meds were uploaded even though his urine sugar was still high. But they said it will not be a problem(hopefully Insha Allah) as the creatine test came normal which meant his kidneys are fine.
So just some suggestions for people with diabetes:
1. Do not lie or try to hide it as it will come in the blood/urine test
2. Do not worry if you need extra testing as these are all procedures
3. Try to not eat sweet stuff and drink lots of water a day before the test as it dilutes the sugar in your system
4. I have done a lot of research and found that until diabetes has had some severe effect in your body like ruined one of your organs, it is fine and cic usually doesn't reject based on just diabetes. For reference I found 3 people from this forum who got MR with diabetes recently in 2014.
5. It is better to take the urine and sugar test somewhere else before the actual medicals to check what situation the diabetes is in and how well it is controlled.
6. Please ensure diabetes is in control before going for testing as if it is high they will refer you to a specialist and the medicals will unnecessarily take longer time.
Thanks a lot...hope this info will help people with diabetes doing medicals!!
