As the UK is in the EU, and her National Insurance is valid in the EU, that doesn't sound like a problem. You could make the same arrangements for her medical care as you have made for yourself, possibly. If you or your girlfriend have access to the internet, try
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/. You can search under medical cover etc.

soaps on telly and people talking about the characters as if they were real.
look at the Diabetes Uk website. They have all the information about the law. I am sure your girlfriend is entitled to free treatment.
There are many Slovaks and Poles around here where Ilive and they have equal treatment with everyone else. All medicine for a diabetic is Free.
