Insulin Recommendation from a Doctor

Just a quick note here. We’ve discussed talking to you doctor about getting ahead on medications that you require in case of disaster. A personal friend has an insulin dependant diabetic child. His doctor highly recommended to stock 6 months of isulin in case of ‘supply chain interruption’. Your ability to do this depends on an understanding doctor, shelf/storage life of your meds and your financial means since insurance would not pay for that much in advance. I was surprised to hear this advice coming from the doctor to the patient and not a request from the patient to the doc. Backup refrigeration would also be a requirement for this situation. Dual or tri fuel generators and possibly an LP refrigerator as a 2nd backup are possibilities.
