Hi. If you are in the UK it is essential to have prescription for insulin. The doctor must supply enough insulin to meet your needs and cannot refuse that. I wonder what the problem is between you and the surgery? Speak to the surgery practice manager if you need to to help resolve the problem. You and the GP should agree how many insulin shots you need to start with per day and prescribe to cover that.

You can't buy insulin in the UK without a prescription. I'd push your Dr to prescribe more pens, maybe speak with the practice manager about his refusal to supply the appropriate amount of insulin for your needs.
