I’m A Diabetic Moving To India For A Year, How And Where Can I Buy Insulin There?
By admin. Filed in English |
I am a business professional (type 1 diabetic) and considering moving to India for a year (or other DEVELOPING countries). Last fall I went to rural China and had to pay in cash for 6 months worth of Insulin and carry it around (sometimes without refrigeration). My thing always holding me back from long term trips is how to get my supplies.
Does anyone know of a mail order supplies company for business people abroad(especially outside the western world)?
I’m sure there may be retired persons living abroad that get insulin (especially in the developing world) …. How do they get it?
There are also private hospitals abroad, but the problem in Asia, is there is a lot of fake medicine mixed in.
Also what is the best travel insurance (medical evacuation, and general coverage) for diabetics?
Any advice?
Thanks,
Scott

You need to get all these questions answered before you go. You know how important it is to have all the fact in regards to this. You have a lot of calls to make and a lot of research to do before you leave the country.
