Har du diabetes og lever du i Danmark ?
· Er du interesseret i at tale med andre mennesker som lever med diabetes ?
· Hvis du har diabetes, føler du så at det at tale med andre i en lignende situation , ville give dig mere information og bedre støtte ?
· Hvis du tager dig af nogen der har diabetes, ville du så tage imod mere støtte og information ?
· Mener du at mere støtte til folk der lever med diabetes er nødvendigt ?
· Mener du at systemet med at betale for sin insulin er forkert ?
Diabetes foreningen i Danmark gør et stort arbejde, der er også lokale afdelinger tilknyttet så folk kan samles i nærheden af hvor de bor.
Men Internettet tilbyder en anden form for folk til at kommunikere med hinanden uden at forlade deres hjem . Mange af problemerne forbundet med at leve med diabetes er ens for alle mennesker uanset hvor i verden de lever eller bor.
Hvad kan IDDT ( Insulin Dependent Diabetes Trust ) gøre for dig?
· IDDT er en patient/behandler organisation. Baseret på folk der alle lever med diabetes, så vi forstår hvad det vil sige at leve med diabetes, fordi vi har oplevet det .
· Vi ved at diabetes har indflydelse ikke kun på folk der lever med diabetes men også for deres pårørende.
· Vores hjemmeside tilbyder information om mange af de aspekter der er ved at leve med diabetes – bare klik på "General Topics" knappen.
· Vi er også meget opmærksomme på at nogle har besværligheder med at bruge human insulin og i stedet har brug for animalsk insulin (svin/ko) og vi kører kampagner for den stadige mulighed for at kunne bruge animalsk insulin.
Besøg IDDT’s internationale hjemmeside for at lære mere om de uheldige effekter som nogle mennesker oplever når de bruger "human" insulin, for eksempel tab af advarselssignaler for hypoglycæmi, træthed, humør svingninger, forhøjede blodglukose resultater.

Medicin priser i Danmark.
Jesper tror at systemet med at betale for medicinen til folk med kroniske sygdomme som for eksempel diabetes, er fundamentalt forkert og at der burde gøres noget for at forandre dette. Han peger på at det ikke er hans skyld at han har diabetes og alligevel er det dyrt for ham og andre medkroniske sygdomme at erhverve sig deres livsvigtige medicin .
Facts:
· Test materialet er gratis.
· Kanyler er gratis.
· Insulin er ikke gratis, men skal betales for efter nedenstående system:
· Systemet virker over et år af gangen og man betaler det fulde beløb op til 500,- kr.
· 50% af beløbet betales når man når op mellem 500,-kr. og 1200,-kr.
· 25% af beløbet betales når man når mellem 1200,-kr. og 2800,-kr.
· Er beløbet større end 3600,-kr.samt at man er kronisk syg, kan lægen udfylde en formular til ansøgning om kronikkerkort.
· Der er rabat til pensionister og unge under 18 år.

Here is the English transalation:
Do you have diabetes and live in Denmark?
· Are you interested in talking together with other people that live with diabetes?
· If you have diabetes, do you feel that talking to others in a similar situation would offer you support and information?
· If you care for someone who has diabetes, do you feel that you would welcome support and information?
· Do you feel that more help and support for people living with diabetes is necessary?
· Do you feel that the system for having to pay for your insulin is wrong?
The Diabetes Association in Denmark does a good job and also has local groups for people to get together, but the internet offers another way for people to communicate with each other and without leaving home! Many of the problems associated with living diabetes are common to people with diabetes no matter where they live.
What can IDDT offer you?
· IDDT is a patient/carer based organisation made up of people who all live with diabetes and so we understand what living with diabetes is all about because we have experienced it.
· We know that diabetes affects not only the lives of people who have diabetes but also the lives of their families.
· Our website offers information about the many aspects of living with diabetes – just click on the ‘General Topics’ button.
· We are also very aware that some people have difficulties using synthetic ‘human’ insulin and need natural pork or beef insulins and we are campaigning for the continued availability of natural animal insulins. Visit our IDDT International Home pages to learn more about the adverse effects that some people experience when using ‘human’ insulin – loss of warnings of hypoglycaemia, tiredness, mood swings, erratic blood glucose results.

Cost of medication in Denmark
Jesper believes that the system for payment for medication for people with chronic diseases such as diabetes, is fundamentally wrong and that there should be a campaign to change this. He points out that it is not his fault that he has diabetes and yet it is costly for him and others with diabetes to obtain their life-saving insulin.
Facts:
· Blood testing equipment is free of charge.
· Needles are free of charge.
· Insulin is not free and the system works as follows:
· Charges are made on a yearly basis starting by paying the full cost of insulin up to 50 UK pounds [around 500dkr]
· 50% of the cost is paid from 50 to 120 UK pounds [500 to 1200dkr]
· 25% of the cost is paid from 120 to 280 UK pounds [1200 to 2800 dkr]
· If the charges are greater than 360 UK pounds [3600dkr] and people are classed as having a chronic disease, then the doctor can fill out a form to apply for a discount for a year.
· There is also a discount for the elderly and those under 18 years old.
Examples of costs of insulin:
Humalog
I vial 10ml vial = £23.34 = approx 233.40dkr
Pack of five 3ml cartridges = £40.92 = 409.20dkr
Pack of five 3ml pens = £43.89 = 438.90dkr
Insulatard
Pack of five 1.5ml cartridges = £15.09 = 150.90dkr
Pack of five 3ml pens varies from £31.76 to £36.25 = 317.60 to 362.50dkr
IDDT fully understands Jespers concerns about the charges for insulin. What are your views? E-mail Jesper and let him know.
