Good morning!
I'm hoping to travel around New Zealand next year for 3-4 months - so I will need to pick up more diabetes supplies at some point (needles and insulin at a minimum!). Does anyone know how to get a prescription in New Zealand, and how long this process takes?

Any backpacking insights/advice for diabetics gratefully recieved!

Thanks 🙂
 
No idea; every country is different. Start on their uk website or preferably the FO website which gives the UK public advice on visiting every country we can (legally) get to.

Not sure specifically about NZ, but there might be some useful pointers on T1 Resources?

Possibly ‘Diabetes Travel’ half way down that page?
