Hi, I am type2 and have a medical exemption certificate. Last week I received a fine. I rang up and was told that the NHS was doing random checks to eliminate fraud and they could not find my registration. I had moved and never thought to let them know so they could not match my prescription to my cert. they do not check what your prescription was for so they do not know that you are diabetic and in my case the prescription did not include my metformin. You do need a certificate, a plastic card, otherwise the computer cannot know you are entitled to free prescriptions. They have only just started a round of checks and some people might never be spotted. It's probably your drs who were originally at fault but you need to go and get it sorted before it happens again.
