Buying insulin at the pharmacy

**Klimax** · 08-03-2009, 12:33 PM

I would like to buy humulin r without a prescription at a local pharmacy. What excatly should i ask (syringes, needles, vials...) to have all the necessary stuff to inject. I have to look decided, so i need to know what i must say in a correct way without ehhm...

In the USA you do not need a script. Just go to pharmacy and ask for a vial of Humulin R. Simple. Not sure if they sell the pins there or not , some do some dont

Thanks. It sounds so simple that it's difficult to believe.

Not difficult to believe bro.
Example: Your mom is diabetic and you are on the way to her house and she is in diabetic shock.. she needs Insulin ASAP you need to be able to walk right into ANY drugstore and get that stuff with NO HASSLES. Slin pins are not regulated either. Now I will say this the large IM syringes are starting to become regulated at some big chain pharms in the us now.

some of the different duration slins are my scrip only but most are OTC and fairly cheap too

hahaha - now thats a double dare if i ever heard one... i think you should record the conversation with a hidden camera and post it on here for sh1ts and giggles

I'm not a cia agent, but if someone would like to do this mission...

I'll buy insulin without giving explanation or i'll say i have diabethes and no assicurance.

**alex18** · 08-04-2009, 09:24 AM

well make sure you let us know how you get on. This message will self destruct in 5,4,3....

**Klimax** · 08-04-2009, 09:39 AM

2,1..boom

**Gappa** · 08-04-2009, 08:58 PM

I dont get why so many guys are so freakin scared about walkin into a pharmacy and askin for gear or works. sounds like a bunch of vaginas! they ask what you want slin pins or juice darts for and you tell them testosterone .. slinny pins are for growth hormone or IGF1. As long as you dont let them on to something totally stupid like heroin or other C-I substance you are G2G.
sooo take a deep breath grow a set walk in and get what you need. The minute you start looking guilty or acting shady and suspicious thats when you draw unwanted attention.

**Klimax** · 08-05-2009, 09:06 AM

You're right. I'll stay cool. Thank you!

**peteroy01** · 08-05-2009, 02:25 PM

let us know how it goes. some citys have laws against otc pins. i went to a city in oklahoma and was running low on slin pins and i asked the pharmacist and he looked at me like i had a belt around my bicep taping my veins. he said "NOT WITHOUT A SCRIPT for slin pins, city ordinance!" so i had to reuse(hate it) a couple times.

Humulin r 10ml vial+10syringes+10needles buyed for 18,24€. The only proble is that insulin can stay 28 days in the fridge. Then it isn't still good. I won't use 1000iu in a month!

**JimInAK** · 08-12-2009, 05:33 AM

If you keep your insulin in the fridge, it should be good until the expiration date. I have a vial of Humulin R that's dated to January 2010 (and I've had it for several months already).

If you keep it out of the fridge, then you've only got a month....

**peteroy01** · 08-12-2009, 10:31 AM

btw, i went to my local pharmacy and asked if i could get some insulin and they said no. could be a state to state thing or just that branch.

Buying pins is legal in NY though. I buy them all the time. Just awkward... "I need 45 of those sryinges" to the Chinese lady behind the counter.. soo awkward

lol.

But yah, I'm from Syracuse, and it's totally fine..

If it ever becomes illegal, I'm just going to drive up to Canada! lol.

**peteroy01** · 08-12-2009, 11:06 AM

i have no trouble buying pins at the same pharmacy here in Texas. Its a grocery store with a pharmacy in it called Kroger.

**Tucc** · 08-12-2009, 05:48 PM

Not so easy in oklahoma due to all the meth heads wanting them... I either have to order them or get my grandmother who just happens to be a diabetic get pins and insulin for me...

On the illustrative paper it's written that in any case humulin r should be kept in the fridge 2°-8°C. After the opening it remains good for 28 days. The expiration date is referred to the not opened drug.

If you say that you or a relative need it now, the pharmacy can't deny it.

well, i pitched the instructions, but i never really "open" the vial. i push a few units of air in (through the rubber plug) and draw a few units of insulin out.

i suppose that i could be "wrong" (using the product contrary to the manufacturer's written instructions). however, i do have a glucose meter and haven't yet been surprised by a product that failed to work or produced any unpredictable result.

my glucose meter clearly demonstrates exactly what effect the injection has on my glucose level, and that really tells my exactly what i want to know. plus, i do know exactly what it feels like to be "hypo" and am ready to deal with any surprises, as i have glucose tablets (or pure honey) close by in the event of any unexpected surprise.

**Klimax** · 08-15-2009, 06:48 AM

With opened i don't mean take the rubber plug away, but only draw insulin . But if what you say is true (why should it not be?), I'm the one who's "wrong".

Klimax,

You are most likely right and the manufacturer likely does state such as a fact. The exchange of information is what makes this forum worth while and your observation is just as solid as mine. I don't see your input as wrong at all.

I always question facts, particularly those that are presented by a party (in this case the Humulin R manufacturer) that has a profit or other potentially self-serving motive. They are likely playing it safe and making money on their interpretation of facts. Their literature represents business as usual... following their advise would likely be the safest route, too.

I suppose as long as being a pain in the arse is OK, I will remain safe to continue in this forum... I appreciate your contribution and your effort to educate me about the facts.

**JimInAK** · 08-15-2009, 03:26 PM

PS - A glucose meter is only about $20 and some manufacturers give them away, so that they can sell the test strips, which fit only in their meters. Test strips cost between 50 cents and one dollar each and are the largest potential expense for testing the glucose (sugar) level of your blood.

Anyone can buy a glucose meter at WalMart. If you choose (or need) to use insulin , a glucose meter can be very helpful in allowing a person to nail down the most correct dose and keep from experiencing hypoglycaemia (aka - hypo), a potentially life threatening experience. Additionally, if you have older friends and family, you may then test their blood and help them realize if they are insulin resistant and/or have a problem with high blood sugar.

Realizing that I had high blood sugar started me on the path I've taken for better health. I researched diabetes, learned the facts.... and have learned many good facts from this website and from the people who contribute to this forum.

Now, one year later my blood sugar is more than 10% lower without insulin or help from any drug/hormone, although with insulin and a good diet I can now keep my glucose level well below any hazardous level and likely better/heathier than most Americans twenty plus years younger than me. I learned much about health and HGH right on this forum and strongly believe that I am much better, stronger and healthier for it.

From my experience, it's up to me (and you), the individual... to take care of our own health and learning the facts are critical. That's why I post and read what is posted here on this forum, which in my opinion is second to none. The information provided in the "Steroid Research" section, the "Steroid Diet and Fitness" section, etc. is information that is incredibly valuable and stands to serve almost anyone who is willing to take the time to learn the facts and to apply those facts to achieve their goals.

In my case, over the last year I have better health and the hope for a much better life. It's not up to any doctor or government official to "save" us... responsibility is mine and yours.

**Klimax** · 08-16-2009, 05:57 AM

A glucose meter would be a good investiment. I've already some glucose tablets just in case and i ckeck my blood every six months. Recently my blood glucose was in the normal range (80).
There are no relatives with diabetes in my family. I hope i won't be the first. I use insulin for month. Then let's what happens.

Now, one year later my blood sugar is more than 10% lower without insulin or help from any drug/hormone, although with insulin and a good diet I can now keep my glucose level well below any hazardous level and likely better/heathier than most Americans twenty plus years younger than me.

Nice work. Bad lifestyle is as dangerous for diabetes as insulin.

**JimInAK** · 08-16-2009, 02:28 PM

BTW - I order my insulin from a pharmacy in Canada. I order my pins out of state. I order meds that I need from India and hormones from China.

The state of Alaska recently passed a state law, requiring pharmacies to give the state information (including purchaser's name) on all the prescription drugs sold, and I really don't want to be on the list. I'm not sure if insulin or pins are on that list, but I take Lantus (insulin) and it is a prescription hormone, so I buy it mail order from Canada. No one really knows what they are doing with that list, and I don't want to have to explain what I am doing to anyone, because it's really none of their business. I have had a pretty bad experience with law enforcement taking information that I freely provided and embellishing it... so I never provide anything, except if required by law and then my memory would likely fade cause they can't prove that I can actually remember anything, because I have no confidence in the integrity of our legal system.
