Unhappy Medical advice - Diabetes, epilepsy, hypertension

Hi all,

I'm hoping to get a Partner Visa, but I'm concerned about the Health Requirement. If you have diabetes or epilepsy or high blood pressure would you mind sharing your experiences?

They are all well controlled, and the only expense to Australia would be for medication, but I don't know whether they consider that or would just rule me out.

The only guidance I've found is

1071i - seems to suggest that diabetes "may mean that you are assessed as
not meeting the health requirement"

Instructions for medical and radiological examination of Australia visa applications - my obesity does not give me a B grade, but diabetes does (the diabetes is unrelated to obesity)

If you have any of these conditions, and have any experiences to share, I would really appreciate it. Or, has anyone found a UK migration agent who's experienced/honest enough to advise me?

Thanks
Iain
