    To make sure you have the medication you need when you need it, follow these tips:
    • Refill your prescriptions before you run out of medication and before it expires. Try to replace refill orders at the pharmacy at least two days before you need the medication.
    • If you run out of insulin completely, contact your doctor. Never skip a dose -- your pharmacy can always arrange to get you the medication you need.
