Our government has free syringes for dope addicts and requires a prescription for syringes for diabetics.

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.

I think my mom has to carry a prescription for them here, at least when she travels by plane, etc.

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)
