Am on holiday in England, still have 4 days to go and have run out of long acting insulin, am on Tresiba, . Stupid idiot! Would the pharmacist give me some without prescription or can I get by on more short acting, novorapid? Anyone any advice?
 
I have tried to get insulin without prescription (when my insulin was locked in an office overnight) and was told the pharmacy needs a prescription for accounting purposes. Otherwise you have to pay.
You could contact your surgery and get them to fax an emergency prescription to a local pharmacy.
