Needles are readily avalable over the counter in any drug store. Just bought 20 today myself.

Should be no problem with the insulin. Carry a prescription just in case, but chances are your bags won't even be checked.

I can personally vouch for Ken's reply

One of my mechanics is insulin dependent and every now and then I have to go and get him some. No problem..

There is no problem with bringing insulin into the country as a matter of fact the customs official may even ask for little for a family member or something, given the current situation in the D.R.
