Hey guys wondering if anyone can help. I'm planning on selling up and spending some time travelling. I was wondering how to go about picking up insulin and supplies from other countries for my pump. Any help would be fab thanks

Hi @zippy100h

So I would contact my pump supplier and check for the countries Im' going to who their agents are and then contact them direct for in country supplies.

Insulin is available everywhere, just go to a local hospital pharmacy and you can purchase it - may not be so easy for an insight cartridge though.

Have fun on your travels.

Another option is to go fall back to MDI for your travel if needed, I have a friend who did this and back packed around the world picking up on the way and she had no issues, purchasing insulin and syringes as needed (this was over 6 yrs ago), she was not a pumper to start with.

Have a great time, I think you'll find it easier than you think as long as you plan to visit a major city every time you need more kit.
