This is a fair assessment on the situation.@Mark the Spark I suspect that you started with diabetes as a child, when you were eligible for free prescriptions. Personally I believe you should have received a letter when you turned 18 alerting you to the new adult requirement. Without that how would you know. Diagnosed at 54, the hospital team gave me the initial paperwork and I kept up to date. Now beyond 60 it’s done anyway. What’s amazing is it’s taken them all these years to catch up with you. Showing that there must be widespread fraud occurring every day. (Not you obviously)
Have to wonder if you’re T1 why you have to renew. Not like T1 is evergoing to go away
Been hearing that for the last 50 years....have subsequently given up holding my breath........<breathes deeply>Didn't you know "we're just 5 years from a cure"?
Yeah so I heard , I also heard that Lord Lucan is riding Shergar down Princess Street in EdinburghDidn't you know "we're just 5 years from a cure"?
Both of mine have been plastic "credit cards"I started off with fairly small thickish paper/thin card certificates, which then moved to plastic card type ones. Now it's to be a double sided paper one, (talk about full circle but a far larger size) prior to going digital. I just show it to the chemist when I get a new one, and they note the expiry date.
I've been diabetic for nearly 60 years, so have had quite a few exemption certificates/cards. The last 2 have been 'credit cards' like you.Both of mine have been plastic "credit cards"
Ditto.Both of mine have been plastic "credit cards"
I heard it was 10? According to what I read on New scientist & “Tomorrow’ world.” TM tended to cite it as a pump. I got a mobile phone they predicted! Still no pump.Didn't you know "we're just 5 years from a cure"?
I've been T1 for 36 years and still waiting for a cure, but alas, I've come to the conclusion that the big drug companies etc etc make billions from us diabetics worldwide, so why would they spend loads on finding a cure. Probably just spend the bare minimum on research etc and that's i
Nearly 44 years for me and still waiting, I agree diabetes is too much of a cash cowI've been T1 for 36 years and still waiting for a cure, but alas, I've come to the conclusion that the big drug companies etc etc make billions from us diabetics worldwide, so why would they spend loads on finding a cure. Probably just spend the bare minimum on research etc and that's it.
Ditto.
Well, the last 2 times I actually knew about this & applied…
They have been a credit card size since I was diagnosed 20 years ago.They are all cards now the same size as a credit card so that you can place in with your bank cards
