The drug scarcity, the latest to affect the UK, is sowing uncertainty for the 400,000 people with the condition, with some products not available again until 2025 amid global manufacturing and supply problems.
Britain is already contending with record numbers of medicines becoming hard or impossible to obtain, including those for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and epilepsy.
The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) said "a regular and reliable supply of insulin is essential for life" for people with type 1 diabetes. That is because their disease - an autoimmune condition unrelated to type 2 diabetes - means they cannot make insulin naturally and must inject it every day or get it through a pump.
"People with type 1 diabetes must regulate their own insulin injections and dose, so it's imperative that they have confidence in the supply of their regular type of insulin," said Hilary Nathan, the JDRF's director of policy. "The news of any shortages could cause significant anxiety."
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) confirmed there were "supply issues with a limited number of insulin products" that patients might find "distressing".
