Slovakia

In Slovakia, all types of insulin as well as devices and technologies for blood glucose monitoring and insulin administration are available for people living with diabetes (PwD) and they are free of charge for children.

Healthy living policies are in place targeting obesity and smoking. There are, however, no specific policies on healthy food and physical activity.

Screening for diabetes-related complications is available but varies across the country. People with gestational diabetes are follow up by diabetologists for six months after the birth of the baby.

Diabetes specialist nurses play a role in diabetes prevention and in the management of people living with all types of diabetes, but they are not allowed to prescribe medications.

Slovakia has a national diabetes register for children living with diabetes.
