    I just heard from a friend that diabetics can claim money from the state "i think" because they need a special diet and it can be more expensive than the normal diet.Has anybody ever heard of this and is it true??

    Only the 4 diets laid out on the page linked in the post above are given monetary supplements,but certain foodstuffs are included under the medical card also, such as supplement drinks/yoghurts, gluten free products etc.tthese are written as another item on the patients prescription.
