it's not just medicines (drugs) my insulin delivery system is dependent on reliable supply of batteries, and equipment that is warehoused in Netherlands. When there was a manufacturing fault, the supply or parts that keep me alive almost dried up. Going back to the system I used 50+ years ago isn't possible as those supplies simply aren't made anymore.
Life expectancy without insulin is not long, probably a handful of weeks.
