[QUOTE="Jordi77, post: 2691623, member: 221771"] I have been a Type 2 diabetic for 34 years and I have always had a medical exception certificate and I got that when I turned 17 and I have never had a penalty for none payment and I am always making sure that I change my certificate well in advance before my old one runs out and I know a few people that have been done by the NHS for this and they are now either in prison for fraud or had a massive fine and I don't know what they might do to you but that is why didn't you check with the pharmacy as they are the ones who can advise you and it's not your doctor that does the certificate but they fill in the form to advise the NHS that you have diabetes and that you can be exempt from paying but that's all the doctor does other than that they have no idea what will happen next and when it's sent off you receive it in the post a week or so later but it's up to you to get it sorted and you only and if you don't you pay for the consequences for doing nothing for how ever long it has been [/QUOTE]
