Moving to Greece

[Geoff_Sanderson]

Hello all,
I'm new to the forum, I'm 56 yr old and have had type 1 diabetes for 35 years. I am considering early retirement and buying a cheap place to live in Corfu (escape the rat race!). Can anyone help me with information on how I would be able to get my insulin and other prescriptions if I lived there. Could I still get it from Britain if I pay my national insurance stamp or would I have to buy it in Greece which would obviously cost a lot. Would I be able to get my diabetic health checks in Greece?

Hi @Geoff_Sanderson and welcome to the forum

Not sure of the answers, however why don't you try contacting the Diabetes UK Advocacy Service to see if they can help or point you in the right direction, here are their contact details:
