Message: <blockquote data-quote="DCUKMod" data-source="post: 2316672" data-attributes="member: 345386">Hi Jess-Newt - I hope things start opening up for your adventure soon.  At the moment, it seems like much of Asia is locked down to a greater or lesser extent, with few countries granting travel visas, for anything other than business, in exceptional circumstances.Notwithstanding all of that, I've spent a bit of time in the region the last 2 winters, and in fact, came back to UK just a few days before UK locked down, and just as Thailand, where we were at the time were beginning their own restrictions.I'm not on insulin, so can't offer you much wisdom on that side of things, except to say that in many places overseas insulin can be obtained from pharmacies, without prescription.  Obviously, particular brands may differ, or be unavailable.I'd strongly suggest that, just like travelling closer to home that as well as a good level of supplies that you carry your then current prescription with you - just in case.  I'd also take some packaging with labels on with me.  Again, some places will provide medication, provided they are content you have had it in the past.Finally, when you know what your route is, and which countries you will be visiting, it could be worthwhile joining one of the ex-pat forums.  You may think there won't be ex-pats in the country you intend to visit, but, trust me, they get everywhere, and usually know lots of local stuff.One such example is here:  <a href="https://forum.thaivisa.com/" target="_blank">https://forum.thaivisa.com/</a>Have a wonderful adventure.</blockquote>
