Injecting abroad

[Lynmi]

I'm traveling to China/Japan/Vietnam/Singapore later this year on holiday and wondered if anyone know of any cultural issues with injecting public in any of these countries.

I always just in test/inject wherever I am discreetly in my stomach or if I'm wearing a dress into my arm and don't want to cause offence if this is deemed to be culturally unacceptable.

thanks

You certainly won't in Japan.

I will tag member @Scott-C as I am fairly certain he's quite well travelled.

I just returned from 2 weeks in Vietnam, no problems at all with cultural issues. The people were incredibly supportive and helpful. At one point the fridge in my room failed but I was able to pop into the nearest pharmacy (in Saigon at the time) and buy replacement insulin.

Thank you, that’s really good to know

Hi Bill166, just wondering which insulin(s) you bought and how much they cost?

Hi Jess, I bought a Lantus Solostar pen for 30,000 VND, about £10
