Hello, all!

I am thinking of migrating to China. However, I am diabetic. Can I get medication there while I undertake my functions as a teacher?

Regards,

Of course you can get your needed medication in China. Though, you might be surprised to discover how cheap it is. Also you will not need to have a local doctor write a prescription for it.

There are many, many misconceptions about China. China is not some kind of third world back water. It is a leading global power with a high tech infrastructure, and state of the art medical systems.

I wrote a blog post on the many, many misconceptions that (Americans) have about China. As you are considering the move, perhaps you might want to read it. Go HERE.
