Sanofi (a private company, not UK.gov) are stockpiling, which answers the question.
How?
A stockpile needs distribution, and to be constantly refreshed. One of the critical aspects of Brexit that the government has identified is fuel logistics. Why is this important? Because it's no use having Insulin in a warehouse if the delivery fleet has no fuel to distribute it.
Does this mean that there will be no insulin anyway? No, of course not - what it means, most likely, is that it will be scarce, and will therefore have to be tightly controlled (rationed), and access will therefore be hard.
What if you rely on your car to get to the distribution? Then you may be in trouble, and in this case trouble=coma and death.
Also, a thousand other things will be going wrong at the same time, so whilst we might be able to cope with 1, 5 or even 10 of them simultaneously, I give no credit to the theory that we'll be able to cope with them all.
The government will be busy blaming everyone else, for a start.

I had an online discussion last week on another forum with someone who had voted for Brexit because he was worried about left-wing facism. I vehemently held the position that the very concept was fabricated by the right wing press.
Reading the last few pages here I’m seriously reconsidering that position.
Sanofi (a private company, not UK.gov) are stockpiling, which answers the question. It seems to be relatively easy to increase the size of the stockpile. Either way, a solution of sorts exists (whether you are satisfied or not with it). But a stream of personal ad hominem attacks based on fear of something that the poster was seeking to discuss is not ok in a mature, respectful discussion, and will never change anything. Like it or not you’re part of the problem if you can’t see this.
