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.
