Starting in mid-January my friend and I are traveling to New Zealand and Australia for several months on a working holiday. I have Type 1 Diabetes and use an insulin pump. As it is necessary to me living, I am wondering what the best way to get my insulin will be. Does anyone know what it takes to fill a prescription in New Zealand and Australia as a US citizen? Or does anyone have experience traveling longterm being insulin-dependent diabetes? Any advice anyone can give would be much appreciated!
I have traveled for three months in Tanzania before, but I stayed in the same place and was able to bring enough with me as I was insured a refrigerator. This time I will be moving around a lot and will be going to hostels and homestay without knowing for sure if I will have a fridge. For all my other supplies I will just bring enough for the whole time, I'm mostly just worried about the insulin.
