[QUOTE="sugarless sue, post: 135126, member: 1210"] The eligibility for free prescriptions is that you are a diabetic and [b]on diabetic medication[/b]. Diet only diabetics are not eligible for free prescriptions so the pharmacist is not correct in this case. You have to apply for medical exemption certificates and you would find that one would not be issued in this case. You may well find that you may be asked to repay any cost that you have avoided to the local health authority. There are other conditions that do also allow you to be on free prescriptions. Here is a link that Ken posted some time ago which explains more fully the whole process and the other conditions listed: [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=10760&p=102144&hilit=exemption+certificate#p102144]viewtopic.php?f=20&t=10760&p=102144&hilit=exemption+certificate#p102144[/url] [/QUOTE]
