Getting Insulin in Hong Kong

[mount]

Hi Guys, New to this forum so go easy on me ! I am a type one diabetic who is heading out to Hong Kong. Does anyone know if Insulin in Hong Kong is free on the health system or do you have to pay for it ? if so does anyone know how much it is ? and finally I know on medical health insurance i can have the costs covered but can anyone recommend any good medical health insurers who specialize in the cover of diabetics in HK ? Thanks guys !

I will bump your post up @mount.

Are you going on holiday or for employment?

You may get some answers here and another place to try is DUK. They might be able to help.

Hi Catherine, thanks a lot for this ! I am going for full employment for at least a couple of years. Its either get a prescription out there or implore my GP in the UK to write me a 1yr prescription which i highly doubt they will say yes to.
