Hello: I was just diagnosed with a glucose value of 381. My eyes have been causing trouble and after certain meals, I felt a bit woozy. Are there any diabetes centres in the BKK & Pattaya areas? How much do you pay to get a prescription for some insulin type drug? Which quantities can you buy? Are the prices okay? ** I will also need 2 hormones, Testosterone and DHEA. The latter cannot be bought at all in Germany, even with a doctor's prescription (nanny knows best - German Customs even confiscated "Centrum A-Z" I sent to an old lady as a present from the USA). Any idea whether those can be obtained? DHEA is very cheap in the USA and I wonder if the import is banned in Thailand. Thank you!

Been there myself, my level was also in the high three hundreds, but after only a month of going on a very strict diet I was able to get it down to 130 or so. Any hospital should be able to help out and since I have insurance, I don't know that actual prices but they shouldn't be too high (much lower than in the US or Europe). My non-expert/non-medical advice is to control your diet first and don't only rely on medication. Cut back on the amount you eat and eat a balanced diet and get some exercise (walking a couple of hours a day will probably do more to help than taking some pills).

Cheers

Good luck

I am diabetic as well!

Getting my insulin and pen for free at the hospital here in Phuket.

I am working even as a Chef, but no problems at all

It sounds if you are German like me so if you need any advice send me PM with your mobile number.

And don't worry to much.
