[QUOTE="aseret, post: 1706339, member: 47729"] Hi Bob, I am a UK national, living full time in France, i think very near you...... same village if i am not mistaken! I am type 2 , diagnosed about 6 years ago and cant get test meter or strips paid for so in the beginning i did buy a meter in England and can get the strips over the counter here but they are quite expensive. All my medication is covered 100% on all stuff 'diabetes related' by the French health system but i am not sure if that is available to you, I am registered self employed here so am entitled to full health benefits under their system. I am fortunate and having lost some weight, i have managed to get my BG levels down and my medication has now been stopped. I have regular check-ups (all free) and have been told that i can control this by diet. I think its very different for Type 1's, but the French system is very very good, if you can cope with the language barrier. [/QUOTE]
