[QUOTE="SybR, post: 774273, member: 161583"] If you were diagnosed before 2002, you had lifetime exemption from prescription charges - you didn't need an exemption certificate. The NHS BSA has NOT informed those of us diagnosed prior to 2002 that the rules have changed. It's NOT ignorance - it's lack of communication by the NHS BSA which has started a witch hunt of Type 1 diabetics. It's bureaucracy gone mad. If you NEVER had a certificate to start with you can't be penalised for NOT having one now. These fines are ridiculous. It's bad enough being diabetic without being criminalised. [/QUOTE]
