[QUOTE="Hellikopta, post: 1782136, member: 392751"] I will be travelling to the US for 6 months next year - I'm walking the Pacific Crest Trail. My UK insulin will only last for 1 month so I need to buy 5 months worth of Humalog and Levemir while I'm out there. Does anyone have any idea as to how the system works in the US. Will they allow me to buy insulin in a pharmacy with a UK Doctors note / prescription or do I need a US one. Can I just arrange an appointment with any doctor to get a 5 month prescription or will it need to be a different one for each state I visit (I'm travelling through 3 states) or each time I need a new month's supply. How much is it likely to cost? Any insight you can give me will be really helpful. Cheers Helen [/QUOTE]
