Hi folks
New to the board but wanted to ask a question in regards the availability of Insulin for Type-1 Diabetics who are non-residents. Myself and my girlfriend are considering moving to the UK for work, she has Type-1 Diabetes (uses pump) and here in Ireland she has a LTI book which allows her to get as much free insulin as she needs. Does the uk have anything similar for those with Type-1 Diabetes? Do those who have Type-1 have to pay perscription for the insulin or is it free only for residents?
Essentially we are wondering the financial implication of getting Insulin in the UK for those who are Type-1 and non residents, if any?
Many thanks.
