Call emergency services and go to a hospital? Do you not have travel/health insurance?

Hi,

Welcome to:the forum..

Are you traveling with anyone else who has the means to financially cover your prescription charge?
Do you have family or friends in Sweden who could wire or transfer to your bank account to cover any charge?

 

[Zhnyaka]

find a Facebook group like "diabetics of Riga" and write a post there asking them to share their insulin. People usually have a couple of spare syringes.

Have you managed to get any insulin @tobbei
If not, how are you sugar levels?

Hi @tobbei

This is a medical emergency
The DCUK forums cannot provide insulin or money but as a Swedish citizen you are entitled to an EHIC card (European Union health card), which is valid in Latvia.
Options
1) Call an ambulance or go to a hospital
2) go to the Swedish embassy.
3) contact friends or family for emergency funds

The DCUK forums cannot be used to obtain money or insulin, only information.
