Re: Medical costs for diabetics

I am Type 1 and so far have been very impressed. I have been told that the basic insurance covers most diabetic treatment, including eye tests (not dental). I have seen my doctor 3 times now and received all the supplies I need. I use insulin pens. (Still haven't had a bill to claim yet)

He does blood tests inc. HBAlc from a finger not a whole blood sample from the arm. The results are there in 30 mins, not 2 weeks like in the UK. I am not knocking the UK because I thought the treatment there was superb too compared to Asia where I have lived for many years.

So in Switzerland I don't think you need to worry!

Good luck.
