Hi,
I am due to go on holiday abroad in a few weeks so thought I would ask the Dr for a letter that states I have diabetes and need to take my insulin etc with me in my hand held luggage (advice I have read everywhere and on the NHS website). I have just traipsed down to the surgery and got told yes, that will cost £30. I am astounded, I asked to speak to the Practice Manager who said it is classed as a 'private' letter. Ok, I suppose I can understand that but 30 quid? What a con. I won't be paying that so my question is, has anyone got any suggestions what else to take with me just in case I need to prove anything?
