[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 1783165, member: 372717"] When I moved from Australia to NZ last year I took all my insulin in my hand luggage. I went over 6 months before I got a prescription for more. I think they're just over cautious, personally. (It's a bit like you're told to keep eggs in a fridge with a relatively low use by date. When I was a child/young adult we used to keep them for months out of the fridge.) When I get a prescription (3 * 1 month) for insulin, I get 3 months worth at once. There's no way I'm going back every month for insulin.... In Australia they were so generous with the quantities that I used to get a prescription more like twice a year. Never noticed an issue, though I did keep it in the fridge. I'm on lantus and humalog, by the way, though I've had the same attitude towards other insulins in the past. [/QUOTE]
