I think this homepage will answer your question. It is in Danish as it is meant for Danish citizens.

If the Google translation doesn't turn out to be understandable, you're welcome back.

These are the general rules for adults over 18 years:

Medicine:
We have to pay the first 925 kr. of the yearly expenses ourselves.

Other remedies:
Insulin-dependent diabetics get syringes, needles and test materials for the blood glucose test for free.
Diabetics who do not use insulin but is in tablet therapy can annually get up to 150 test strips and lancets for free.
The criteria for reimbursement is that the physician considers regular blood glucose monitoring necessary.

Podiatric treatment:
All diabetics are entitled to an annual feet examination and risk assessment carried out by a podiatric after referral from the GP.
