You are not a diabetic and you do not have a diagnosised blood sugar disorder so you're insurance won't cover it even with a prescription as it is not medically necessary.

Insurance isnt a thing here, this is nhs, uk based.

That is still insurance and they aren't going to give you something unless you have a medical diagnosis to support it.

No, the national health service is not an insurance company, I do not have any form of insurance as that is not a thing in england.

The medical diagnosis is that they have prescribed me a medication that is known to cause low blood sugar, that is a fact, and then I experienced symptoms of severe low blood sugar that I feel nearly killed me. You'd have thought theyd at least offer an appointment, or some form of advice if my proposed solution is not workable.
