Might help if you say where you are.

Have you been advised by a Doctor to use insulin?

If not then your first priority is to consult an endocrinologist and have your diabetic state fully evaluated.

Do not attempt to self prescribe insulin doing so could prove fatal!

If you state where in Thailand you are members will suggest appropriate doctor(s )

i have thorough knowledge of insulin use abd have been using it for 8 years as prescribed by my doctor (not in thailand). the problem i have in thailand is that i can not find a doc that understands diabetes and insulin use....true! i have no faith in the knowledge doctors possess here in thailand....so i am looking for a good referral. didn't realize that this would be so difficult a request

Lantus is available in Thailand.

There are many Doctors who "understand" insulin and diabetes !

Try looking here for a Doctor

Notice the first Dr on the list ! His Board certifications would suggest he has more than a "little" knowledge about diabetes !

If you're at Bang Na I would suggest going to Thai Nakarin Hospital. It is a few hundred meters past Central Bang Na.

It is a clean hospital with very good service. Like any hospital in Thailand it is a flip of the coin as to the quality and honesty of the Doctor you get but you could do much worse than Thai Nakarin.

It has made great efforts to be recognized as an International Hospital complete with a quartet playing classical music in the lobby.

They have a Diabetes Clinic.
