Diabetes in Prague

My husband and I are Americans who recently moved to Prague. We were able to find a teaching job and health insurance (through the school). However, we just found out that the insurance doesn't cover my husband's Diabetes. Literally, in our contract, it lists AIDS, self-inflicted injuries and Diabetes as items NOT covered by our company's health insurance policy. It's extremely expensive to buy his supplies (insulin, test strips, ect..) out-of-pocket. Plus, American companies don't want to cover customers with pre-existing conditions. Does anyone have suggestions of what we should do? He has emailed his suppliers (who have a branch in the Czech Republic) and he hasn't received any responses. Any advice would be wonderful!
