[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 688938, member: 6467"] For those of you who have a card, does it have a start date and/or an expiry date? Did you receive any reminder that your card was due to expire and you needed to renew? [url]http://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/1126.aspx[/url] gives the details of entitlement - basically any diabetic who requires diabetic medication. So there may be many diabetics who are entitled but who are not currently claiming. I got a little tangled in this on first diagnosis - recommendations for diabetics include low dose slow release aspirin and statins. However neither of these drugs are specific to diabetes. Hint - if you are not taking Metformin but are on statins and aspirin it can save you a lot of money if you start taking Metformin. [/QUOTE]
