Living with Diabetes

3 years ago
Hi guys,

I arrived in B.G. on 19/12/2020.
I’m a Retired Diabetic and would like to. share my first year.
I’m a Brit and possibly, like every other Brit, expect rapid transformation.
The Red tape is seemingly endless.
The time taken to process eligibility for free insulin and reassess stability has taken me 11 months.
Just when I thought I had my Blood test Clinic procedure sussed, they changed the Goal Posts.
On the plus side, my Checks have been extended to four months instead of three.
Looking on the Bright. Side.
P.s. Dropped the chemical prescriptions, can actually feel the soles of my feet and in Far Better Health than I. had in the U.K.
As they say in Bulgaria, Malko po Malko
