Why do you need to know if I am a diabetic?
Diabetics do not have to pay VAT but unfortunately most pharmacies and retailers will require you to pay the full price including VAT and will leave you to fill out a long form to claim the VAT back. But if you buy from us, all you need to do is to confirm you are a diabetic by choosing the "Yes I am diabetic" option and you will not be charged VAT.
