[QUOTE="patchworks101, post: 992757, member: 163050"] Hi I'm T1, near Poitiers, and think the service here is brilliant. I see the consultant 3 times a year but can phone him or write to him whenever I want and he's always very responsive and helpful. As a T2 you have an ALD (affliction longue durée), as Phoenix says. However, go back to your GP as it is his responsibility to complete, online, a form for CPAM to declare you as ALD. About 2 weeks later you will receive a letter, from CPAM, confirming the ALD and 100% entitlement. You will then receive all medical treatment, and prescriptions, relating to your diabetes free of charge. This can include heart and eyesight examinations. There are spectacle providers in France that operate similar to the likes of Specsavers with their pricing plans. However, normally your 100% covers the rates that CPAM state are applicable and will NOT be the cost of your specs from most opticians. Make sure you check what the reimbursement (100% rate) will be before ordering any spec's. The HBa1c test will test your long-term glycemic levels and is normally done every 3 months. It does not have to be a fasting test but is normally arranged for first thing in the morning. There are as many diabetics in France as there are in the UK so you are not alone. Why not contact your endocnologie unit at the hospital. They wil have details of all sorts of courses etc that you can go on. All the best BB [/QUOTE]
