Spouse is a type 1 diabetic using an insulin pump. We are considering retirement to Spain where we eventually would be eligible for the Convenio Especial. If I understand correctly we would have to pay for our medications. A couple of questions...
1. Does this mean a pump replacement would be at our expense? Anyone know what they cost in Spain?
2. It appears that there are discounts for prescriptions (40% I believe). Would we be eligible for these even though we have to purchase our own drugs?
3. Can anyone comment on prescription costs. I did find some info the seems to indicate insulin (Novolog) is around 30 Euros per vial, vs $285 here in the states.
Thanks for your help.
