I'm currently 24 so a long way off retirement. From what I have found out so far you have to register within a week of arrival if you plan on working/living there, in doing this they will help you get health insurance (different name but very similar to NI) which covers health costs providing...

Expensive in what way? From my research it looks relatively cheap... I could be wrong! You pay more for you national insurance but not drastically more, I'd be looking to register as a citizen not working there. Not sure if that makes a difference? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Thanks for that, really helpful. I had found the .gov link earlier and have also been looking on the German embassies site, will check the others later. The way their national insurance system works seems quite logical and dare I say it stereotypically German but for me thats a plus, you...

Thanks for that! Are you living as an Italian citizen or just working over there for an extended period of time? It hasn't put me off, I've really had enough of the UK and would like out if I can. My levels are well maintained so wouldn't be too worried about paying for an annual blood test etc...

@MrRyanJames Different strains of weed have different effects, some for example induce the munchies while others can make you paranoid (usually solid/resin) and the better strains leave you in a mild euphoric state. The latter are the obvious choice, from personal experience I find the Sativa...

I never mention I'm diabetic until I get the job, you don't know if you will get a job when your applying so why should they need to know your diabetic? Obviously it's different for some jobs like the armed forces but on the whole it shouldn't effect your application. Sent from the Diabetes...
