[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 1785584, member: 372717"] If you're covered by medicare (the public system) which you may be because of the UK's reciprocal agreement, then you should be fine. I would definitely ask your employer about this. Private health insurance tend to have qualifying periods and though they do pay for pumps they don't pay for much else. (I'm not on a pump, and though I was in Australia for 17 years I never used my private health insurance for anything other than physio treatment and glasses and a tax break. They didn't cover me for any of my diabetes care.) As a priority, find out whether you're covered by medicare. [/QUOTE]
