So when your mother will go for medical exam, they will ask her if she is on any medication. You should reveal everything truthfully around which all medications she take. What I will suggest is get her health check up done on your own before the medical test by IRCC. Test for things like Hba1c and Kidney function test, Lipid profile etc. Her Creatinine (Kidney function) should be fine, thats what IRCC also check. If Hba1c is higher than 9, I would say get that under control before that IRCC medical test (not just for Supervisa but for her own well being also). For medical Insurance i am not sure, but definitely take a good one

HbA1c is around 8 I guess. But yes, like you suggested, we planned to get it done on our own first, bring any abnormalities under control and then go for upfront Medical exam.
Insurance is again a challenge.
Factors like age, diseases, medications just shooting the premiums.

The chances of having to seek out medical attention is higher for diabetics this the higher cost of insurance. If you are not upfront about medical history your chances of being able to claim any medical emergency will be very low. Would also read the policy carefully because many things could be considered preexisting condition if associated with her diabetes especially if diabetes is not well controlled. The biggest issue with having diabetes is often things like reduced kidney function and the possibility of eventually needing dialysis. You will have to pay out of pocket for any routine care and it can be very challenging to get an appointment with specialists because doctors have to prioritize those with provincial insurance first. Given her health issues she needs to be followed more closely than others without serious health issues who may be able to avoid seeking medical care for many years. Many can’t visit for long durations in Canada because of their health issues.
