Hi folks,
My wife and I have had a dream to live on Fuerteventura ever since I first visited the island back in 2008 and nothing has changed but over the last two years I have had some health issues and my wife has an ongoing permanent problem with Type 1 Diabetes. Were we to retire to Fv we were wondering if there is a diabetic dept at the general hospital in Puerto Del Rosario or any Health Service clinics? I can only find info on type 2.....We would both need regular checks, in particular, my wife would need insulin and needles etc. Any help would be very much appreciated. I have a heart condition and subsequent lung and kidney problems, currently well under control. Does anyone know if the cardiology dept there is top notch or below par? I would think that there are quite a few retirees out there with similar issues. How do you manage? Has the constant good Weather had benefits to your health?
Cheers for any help.
