@JulienHi and thanks for letting me join the forum, my wife and I are hoping to retire to Spain, however being a type 1 diabetic I have concerns regarding diabetic care and the supply of medication since the brexit fiasco, does anyone know how the situation is with regard to diabetes for ex pats in spain.- @munnbarracuda
Hey there,
I am a type 1 and moved to Spain 6 years ago. Once you have your health card you can make an appointment with your doc, and tell them to write you a prescription of what you need. Also I suggest telling them to contact the local hospital so they can transfer you to the endocrinologist team.
the biggest and most difficult part is actually getting your health card. But once you have that you can get repeats.
hope that helps, best of luck

Many thanks for your info 👍
