- fasting_insulin — pharmacy prices in germany were fairly uniform when i checked because of how they are regulated. in spain they varied much more, i could be wrong 18:42
- fasting_insulin — translate your message and send both versions. that got me answers when english alone had not, for what its worth 18:43
- amylin_amy — is there anywhere in the eu where this is actually cheap 18:47
- karl_fischer — the language thing improved a lot when i stopped using idioms, and that was the actual fix 18:54

as of about a year ago statutory cover in germany for weight indications still was not there, so check before quoting me on it
crossing a border to buy it happens and people are quiet about it, which tells you how comfortable they are with it, anyway
nordic pricing genuinely was higher in every comparison i have seen here, and the incomes are higher too, which people forget
the language thing improved a lot when i stopped using idioms, and that was the actual fix
i order about six weeks ahead because a customs delay inside the eu still cost me 24 days once
transit inside the eu was 8 days for me door to door, which is faster than anything i have had from outside it, for what its worth
