Hi all,
I am in the process of being diagnosed with diabetes- still awaiting tests to confirm if type II or LADA. Currently taking Gliclazide 80mg twice daily.
Prior to all this kicking off a couple of weeks ago, I had an NHS pre-payment card for my prescription as a take a couple of other medications.
My understanding is that if you are diabetic you get your prescriptions for free? My questions are...
1. Is this true- my internet research seems to suggest so
2. Is it only your diabetic meds you don’t get charged for, or does everything on your prescription (diabetes related or not) become free of charge?
I ask because if it is free then I need to look in to cancelling my monthly pre-payment card fee.
Many thanks as always!
