Insulin shortage

Erin · Mar 13, 2022

News report: shortage of insulin in Ukraine-related war: I have saved numerous "left over short dose" vials of Humulin N. (ironically, "in case of the Apocalypse") . Is it a good idea to collect them and send them to Poland, e.g.? Would they go through customs?

Here is another threads about this (which also links to another): https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/ukraine-diabetes-aid.186739/
May be best to continue in one of those threads instead

Anything out of date won't be accepted. Also, anything that is prescription only requires a doctor's note with them. You are probably better off finding a medical orientated charity in the UK and sending to them. They will know what will or won't be acceptable, and what paperwork is needed. They would also have connections and know where various meds are needed.

The Red Cross in the U.K. maybe?
