Does anyone have info on diabetic supplies especially insulin in HCMC? My husband is a diabetic and trying to figure out where we can get his insulin. We are planning to be over there for a few years. Any help would be much appreciated. Also concerned because of the heat as it has to be in the fridge. Thank you again.

It's just as common here as anywhere else. Most 'street' pharmacies carry insulin. I haven't had a problem with availability or quality of insulin, test strips, syringes. Just find a pharmacy convenient for you and strike up a relationship so they know you will be a repeat customer. No need to worry. Good luck.
