Hi,

Hi,

I am South African and i know for sure that we have medication to treat Diabetics here. However, I am not too sure of the specific brands.

I recently had guests from Australia and they were able to bring in an entire month supply of Diabetic medication that was needed for their personal use.

Medical costs at private care institutions are generally higher in South Africa. However, there are clinics and such that cater for the needs of different people.

I hope this will be of some assistance to you... and welcome to sunny South Africa.
