In Gibraltar, there is a sharp rise in the case of diabetes these days. There are hundreds of people who are not opting for proper treatment because of the high cost of medications and drugs. In severe cases, doses of insulin need to be given on a regular basis. This costs money and people who can’t afford the insulin injections go without it.
