    insulin in UK

    anyone know if insulin (preferably humalog) is available OTC in the UK?? I cannot order from overseas due to the insulin having to be shipped rapidly because of storage temperature.

    No you can not get it over the counter without a script. I get mine of a diabetic friend, but the doctors have changed the slin he is on. Bump for any websites that sell slin.

    Insulin is usually shipped in something that keeps it cool, and insulin is fine at romm temp anyway, and then when you get it you can put it in the fridge.

    slin is fine at room temp or during shipping. They will probably ship on an ice pack anyway. order away

    We have a number of Europeans here who order slin online,and it reaches home Safely,just make sure to ask the retailer,will it make the UK in time, they may offer Express delivery.I must say,lot`s of guys in England have problems getting slin,it`s an easy game for the yanks
