Dear all,
I am an Italian citizen studying and living in the UK and I have been diagnosed with diabetes type 1 few days ago.
I am not familiar with NHS since I have been lucky enough not to need it, so far. However, from now on, I will have to get insulin, needles, lancets and strips.
I am currently in Italy, but I am coming back to the UK soon, where I have already scheduled an appointment with my GP. In the meantime I am waiting to ask him, I was wondering if someone here knew what kind of medical support EU citizens can have access to. Does NHS provide free material for EU people?
Thank you.
