As far as I know, last time I checked, Sweden has the best diabetes care in the European Union at least, so is probaby, arguably, the best in the world. In Sweden, when I last lived there, (admittedly the years are clocking up now as in how long ago it was) type two diabetics were routinely prescribed, free of charge, and posted no questions asked routinely and regularly, test strips and lancets, as was all the blood glucose testing paraphernalia kept up to date. The standard of diabetes-specialist nursing was extremely high. I feel very privileged to have experienced that level of diabetes care.It must be noted - taxes are high there. But imho - you get a lot back, especially if one has the bad luck to get a chronic metabolic disease, as with T2D, or a chronic auto immune disease, as is T1D.</blockquote>
