I Have Been to Europe

I am European. I have a EU passport. I have no idea what happens on 31st October. I wasn’t old enough to vote. I am now. I hope all the scare stories about medicines are just that. I am a type 1 diabetic. I have been since I was little. My supply of insulin has never been disrupted!

Ok. But I know my insulin comes from Denmark! @Platinum

They have plenty in storage and which ever countries we trade with some of them will supply us....since the referendum, we have had so many people trying to scare us and everyone has been proved lies....I still believe we will trade with the update after we have left..@Karishma

@Platinum the problem (as I understood it from the Economist and the FT) isn't that there will be a refusal to trade insulin, but that there will be horrible bottlenecks at the point of entry/exit for all trade, slowing everything down - so, longterm wont be an issue, but short term (say, November to the end of January) there will probably be some glaring shortages in some categories.

Those papers are wrong, the head of Calais port has said there will be no hold ups and many countries sell insulin and we have many months in stock....I may be wrong but I don't think so...if the eu refuses to sell to us , we will buy from say , Japan and the eu will never recover our trade....@firefall

I know we will get back to normal but I have days to live when supplies cut off. Oh well. I’ll get to heaven early! @Platinum

You will get all the insulin you need ...you won't be going to heaven for a long while yet....@Karishma

I die in three days without insulin. It’s ok. I am at peace. @firefall

@Karishma The world needs you, even if you're at peace with going.

I am European. Why can’t everyone who voted to leave, just leave. I’m sure we could ship them to another country in time! Colonise Mars? @firefall

Leaving is not leaving our own country, if you think you're European and love the eu so much, why don't you move over there, to the sinking corrupt eu...stop worrying about your insulin, you won't go short...@Karishma
