Hello everyone!
I am Polish with 30 years and 10 with type 1 diabetes. Last Monday I started working for a Spanish company.I live in A Coruña.I was looking for information on the Internet but I haven't found much.Can you explain to me the following things?
1. First I have to register at a health center and there the header will send me to the edechronologist to diamon as a diabetic?
2. How much does it cost insulin in Spain?Especially an Apidra and one of Tresiba.How does the financing of the sensors work?How much does a free freestyle cost?Can I buy them in each pharmacy?
3. In Poland you can only prescribe insulin for the followers 90 days/you have to renew the recipe every 90 days.Is there something similar in Spain?
4. I live in A Coruña but telework for a company in La Rioja.Will there be any problem with the health service for that?

Thanks in advance and please forgive me linguistic errors.

Hello, welcome.
I explain, if you come new, you must go to the health c that correspond to you at home and assign you a family doctor, he will refer you to your endocrine and he will follow you for everything related to the type 1 DB.
All insulins are financed in Spain, you pay a part but being a chronic medication, it is quite little for what they cost, in Andalusia they can put it on the card to go by removing maximum for a year.Apidra is not but threeba in Andalusia needs a visa report that the endocrine does the first time and then any medical professional can renew it.
The strips and needles for insulin are also prescribed and put on the card, l (at least
In Andalusia), the sensors also finance them, the first time.They send home for messaging.
There is no problem for having the company in a place other than your home.

I hope I have helped you.

It is almost the same throughout Spain.
You see the health center, the header will prescribe the insulin and refer you to the V endocrine.This specialist assigns the sensors, glucose strips and others.
Social security in Spain finances insulin, all glucose and sensors.
I use toujeo and novorapid and paid 4.35eur per box, from novorapid 5 feathers and toujeo 3 vials come.The sensors are given to me the free health center, along with the needles for insulin and glucose strips.

Lada enero 2015.
Uso Toujeo y Novorapid.

I am also from Galicia, from Pontevedra specifically.Everything Ruthbia has said is correct, but with the proviso that in Galicia the strips are prescribed and purchases in the pharmacy.A box of 50 strips of Abbott Freestyle Optium, with the contribution of Sergas costs about 40 cents.

Needles and sensors, are collected in the health center that corresponds to you
