Good day to you

I am a type 1 Diabetic, living in South Africa, and am relocating to Qatar soon. I am please looking for some information about how to continue my treatment over there!

I am currently on the following medication:

Cipla pioglitazone 30 mg per day
Cymbalta 60 mg per day
Lanzoloc 30 mg per day
Bezalip 1 tablet per day
Lantus 30 mmol per day
Apidra varies per day depending on food intake.

I have only been Diabetic for a year now, after suffering pancreatitis, caused by gravel in my blood.(i do not and have never drunk alcohol) I had my gall bladder removed, and I am doing really well. I feel healthy, and am excited about relocating to the most beautiful country in the world.

Please if you could let me know what I need and how to go about getting prescriptions over there I would appreciate it.

Thank you.

Kindest regards

Paul
