Hi guys.

My friend now has all the information as regards cost and availability. The manufacturer replied and said something about national insurance in Thailand. Does anybody know anyone who is able to make a claim for insulin? Here is part of the letter:

'Thailand does have a national insurance programme covering insulin through public hospitals however it may depend on your employment status if you are eligible as a foreigner and may not necessarily cover NovoRapid.'

Thanks for taking the time to make such a detailed reply, it really is appreciated. I've only just joined thaivisa and finding it a really useful site. Cheers!

He takes novorapid pen insulin before each meal and lantus before he goes to bed. Any comments appreciated. Thanks for the previous comments, guys

Ah Tony. "That one may smile and smile and be a villain" Hamlet.

The historian AJP Taylor said of Hitler after WW2 'If you seek his monument, look around.' Same can be said for Blair. Look at Syria now, and indeed the whole region - direct consequences of the Blair/Bush policies. It's a disgrace him coming here.

I heard he was getting $600k. Disgusting. The man's got blood on his hands.

Not nearly as much as Saddam had!

Which scumbag are you trying to justify?

Thanks for the above comments. I'm unaware of the different kinds of medication. He injects before each meal, and takes no oral medicine as far as I know. He hasn't mentioned anything about insurance.

A friend would like to move to Thailand, but is concerned about finding a regular supply of insulin. Are there any diabetes sufferers living here, and how do you manage it?
