I need insulin, asked my parents to send it from Canada (which is how I've always done it here in the past), but customs apparently doesn't like that too much, so I need a new supplier. Anyone know of any pharmacies that carry it? I've always had a really hard time finding it in the past, but am hoping things have changed...

Koreans get diabetes too. It has to be available here.
Go to a university hospital with an international clinic and ask them.

here are several companies in the business:

Do you know where Sinchon subway station is? (between Hongik and Ewha stations)

Walk from there towards Severance Hospital. There are several pharmacies in a cluster 2 or 3 blocks from the subway station. I can't promise that all of them have insulin, but I can promise that at least one of them does.

Thanks so much! That's exactly the kind of info I needed.
