Not sure what you mean - when I was diagnosed with Type2 I was given a kit with a meter and test strips by the Spanish health service, so do tests at intervals to monitor my level. If you are in the Spanish health system talk to your GP, if you simply want a test a good farmacia will do it for you.

Sorry didn’t explain properly it’s my warfarin bloods. Do the bloods your talking about every Monday and Friday. But with my warfarin bloods if I take more of/or less of the tablets the  range can change. I’ve came of 1 tablet in the last week but it can take a week or two to level out and I’m coming over for 7 weeks so need to get it done around 4th week.  My bloods should be 2 to 3 it’s sitting at 2. I can’t afford for it to drop below this.
Thanks 🙏

I don't know the answer for your area, but the NHS asked my wife to get hers checked when we were travelling to Sucina a few years ago. We went to the local Doctors in our village and a Nurse checked it and gave us the results which we sent back to the UK. We didn't have to pay as we used our EHIC card, obviously if you are resident the rules will be different. I would check with your local Doctors.

 Hope this helps.

Thanks done this before in Andalusia a few years ago. But wasn’t sure with us out of Brexit now.
