This is a sad day. Type 1
Guys gals I just realised that if there is a zombie apocalypse or any other kind of apocalypse in the near future most of us will be the first ones to die because of no supply of insulin. I feel very bad for all my diabetic brethren that we won't have our hero movement of surving a horde with the last resistance of earth. This realisation is really really heartbreaking and no amount of cake would be sufficient to make me feel better. This is a sad day indeed 😔.

Step 1: secure short term insulin supply
Step 2: secure transportation
Step 3: secure insulin production facility (If my search results are correct there are at least three to five major plants in Europe so I have my choices in where to go, and those are just the dedicated large plants)
Medical production facilities are highly secure and companies usually have them pretty well guarded too, so they are likely centers for surviving staff and security personnel due to the home field advantage and the access to medical production capacity which would be very useful post apocalypse. This also means these are likely birthplaces for strong survivor factions.
In short: get over to a production facility, help out in exchange for the staff cooking up a freh batch now and again and you're set.
