Several thoughtful posters have given suggestions for actions you could take if you needed insulin immediately, which is what your OP sounded like. 

 

Hope you keep the suggestions handy, just in case.

@emmygrace I agree with Red Top. The pharmacist may have access to your health provider that you don't and in some cases can give an emergency refill.


 I don't have a pharmacist..! This item is coming from Georgia..thanks for your help..I'll get this resolved monday morning! In the meantime I'm drinking LOTS of water....this usually brings my blood sugar down...! I wish I did have a pharmacist...they've given me a refill in the past!


@emmygrace   We have had this happen before.  I called the hospital where my doctor practices and spoke with a hospitalist who called in some doses for us to get by over the weekend.  That might not work but it is worth a try.

I seriouly doubt if a pharmacist would be able to contact a doctor after hours. Best thing: Urgent Care or ER. 

We all have a responsibilty to follow thru on our scripts.

Don't mean to sound harsh.

Here's the thing!!  I'll bet the poster will NEVER tell us how this turned out. Another reason why I believe the forums are on their way out!
