If you are on any diabetic medication, both oral and injectable then you are entitled to an exemption certificate which you have to apply for.
You should be able to get the form from the GP practice or pharmacist. This has to be countersigned by the GP, you then send for certificate and it entitles you to free prescriptions.
Your profile shows diet only, can you please amend it to show your current status.
Here is a link which fully explains the correct procedure to be followed to obtain a certificate:
