i get free prescriptions because I have an underactive thyroid and i get a crad from the family practitioner committee in preston that lasts 5 years (i think it is) it will be your local FPT that has your aplication maybe, I also think because you have diabetes you get free chiropody, check out the booklet you should get with your card when it arrives.

you should definitely have heard by now, my son has epilepsy and he applied for a card and got in within 2 weeks. Being a diabetic you also qualify for free eye sight tests too, as diabetics are at risk of glaucoma
