[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 510894, member: 88961"] Metformin is a very cheap drug, and gliclazide isn't expensive either, in my view, so an option would be a private prescription, if your GP can't give you enough up front. Provided you have an adequately long expiry date, that shouldn't be an issue? You will want to consider medical/long term travel insurance, vaccinations etc., so a preemptive chat with your GP is likely to be worthwhile. I would advise telling him how long you intend to be away from the UK, as ongoing entitlement to NHS services can be withdrawn in some circumstances. My GP was quite frank about both the official and his own personal interpretation of those guidelines, but did mention that some GPs could be quite radical. From a personal perspective, I am finding this time away from business to be so very beneficial. Everyone should do it if they can! I may not go back,......... But don't tell my OH that, just yet. :) [/QUOTE]
