I'm a type 1 diabetic who shoots up 4-5/day.
My insulin is sent FedEx in a 90-day supply -- 4 of those 5-pen boxes. One pen goes in my pocket. The others stay in the refrigerator until I need them.
Other than the fast acting insulin (Novalog/Humalog) and the long acting insulins (Levemir/Lantus), insulin is over the counter. No prescription needed.
Diabetics who are serious about controlling their blood sugar know they can use regular insulin in place of fast acting insulin. Regular insulin is dirt cheap. Less than $30 at Wal-Mart for a 1000-unit vial that, if kept refrigerated, will last months. And syringes are also OTC and just as cheap.
Second, the woman needs to ask her doc for prescription that gives her more insulin so she's not at risk for running out before she's eligible for a refill. Her health insurance should cover whatever amount of insulin the doc says she needs.
Third, using insulin to give yourself low blood sugar as a sex thing? Jesus fucking Christ. Low blood sugar caused by too much insulin/too few carbohydrates is the single worst thing about diabetes. You're at risk for convulsions (you thrash around as if you're having a seizure) before quite possibly going into a coma from which you may not emerge. When I was single and dating around, I'd terrify women when in the middle of the night I'd start convulsing. They'd call 911 hoping the paramedics would arrive before I died. Stick a fork in a light socket if you want to know what low blood sugar-induced convulsions feel like.
