back in 1982 i was diagnosed as suffering with Nessidio Blastosis, and was rushed into Great Ormand street Hospital, to have a Partial Pancreatectomy, 95% of my pancreas was removed.
My condition stabilised until i hit my teenage years, where the remainder of my pancreas died, leaving me with diabetes.
Ihave been to see my GP this morning as i have picked up a respiratory infection, when i was collecting the prescriptiom from the counter, i was told by the chemist, they need to see my medical exemption certificate, which i have never been given, i told her i have suffered from diabetes for 15 years, and she told me she needs to see that i am exempt. i was then given a form to fill out "FP92A Application for prescription charge exemption (medical)."
My concern is, on the form you are required to tick a box that states the medical condition you have, and diabetes mellitus is the only box that appears to be close to the condition i have. do i need to add anything else to this form, ie Post operative enduced diabetes, or is diabetes mellitus sufficient?
Many thanks for any suggestions or help
