Not in the Houston area. Granted they are kept behind the counter and you must ask for them but no prescription is required them or for insulin.

Hmmmmmm...
They gave me a prescription for both the insulin and syringes when I was first diagnosed with diabetes... but I didn't realize that a prescription wasn't a requirement.

But I'm fortunate that my diabetes is "mild" and controlled by diet and metformin... I don't inject insulin at all unless my blood sugar goes above 200... (and I seldom even go over 150)

It depends on what type of insulin you are on. The fast acting ones need a prescription here in Ohio. Humalog is deadly to someone who isn’t a diabetic.

likewise here. I have purchased both while out on the road in an emergency situation and was not asked for the prescription and I asked about that. I use two different types plus metformin plus diet plus exercise.
