Hi everyone, we are the process of retirement and the Orihuela Costa is our area of choice.

We are from the Isle of Man (not part of the UK and never been in the EU)

As we will need private medical insurance could anyone tell me the cost of a prescription for Insulin Pens etc, My wife is #1 diabetic. She uses Fiasp and Tresiba. Can these be bought OTC ? 

TIA

Ant

Don't know about Fiasp but my wife uses Tresiba and the price is €89.26 for 5 pens.

Obviously how long those may last will be down to the individual but for her it's roughly one month.

Fortunately she gets her meds at zero cost.
