I will currently need more insulin and I was wondering if there is any help with me having to purchase this on my own considering it is very expensive I had my doctor that I had before moving wirght me a perscription but I was just wondering if there was any help out there that I won't have to wait 45 days or find a doctor here first ?

i know there are compassionate release programs available to help with supplies of insulin in Canada.  Generally they are able to give you 6 months of free supply.  I am not sure if that's available in the States or not. Your best bet would be to go to a diabetes clinic and ask them.  if it is available, the diabetes educators in the clinic would be able to sign you up for the program.  Best of luck!
