Contact your pharmacist and let them contact the provider.

@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.

So sorry this is happening.  I'm sure anyone would feel anxious.  I hope you get it worked out soon.

Just wanted to mention I buy my kitties Lantus pens from Marks Marine Pharmacy in Canada.  They are less than 1/2 the price of what US pharmacies charge.

I've used them for over 5 years and never been disappointed.

I think she was suggesting maybe the pharmacist has an emergency contact for the doctor.
I'm not familiar with the insulin you speak of. I only use Novolog in my insulin pump and you can get that at Walmart for $25 a bottle with no script. I panic when I'm on my last bottle even if it's full so I send in for my script early always.

I contacted my Nurse practioner because I was almost out of my insulin. Its been 2 weeks! Its the weekend now...soI had to send an email to the NP letting her know...I only have a few days left! I can't tell you how upsetting this is...this will be a long weekend! I wrote a note to the business manager...don't know what else to do. They don't open until Monday~

@emmygrace , if you can do telemedicine they can give you something to tide you over. Most Type2 diabetics  can 

cut their carbs down to near 0 and that will substantially lower their blood sugar. Also an emergi-med can give you a prescription. 

Don't wait until Monday. The pharmacist is also perhaps able to help.

In the future make sure you have a lot of backup. I try and have 4 months of both basal and mealtime insulin in reserve.

@emmygrace Try GoodRx for a telemed visit and see if you can get an emergency refill script through them.  They will fax (?) or email the script directly to a local pharmacy.
