Hello fellow sugar babies!
My name is Ellen Hemmings. I live in New Jersey in the States. I am currently trying to get my animal insulin from the UK, since I can no longer get it from Canada. Wish me luck! A lot of red tape and costly! Be glad you can get it where you live without a hassle!
I have been insulin dependent for approximately 57 years. Found the animal insulin after struggling with the synthetics for YEARS (not feeling the hypos, depression, weight gain, just feeling sick ALL the time, you name it)! Now I can't get it again! Hopefully, will be able to get it before my last month's supply runs out!
Thanks for listening!

Hello and welcome! Most here are in the UK but we have a smattering of folks from the US, Canada, Australia, NZ, South Africa and even Thailand and other tropical places too.
