Just throwing it out there, go read / listen to "One Second After", your question is the premise of the book.
By the way, most prepper fiction is horribly-written and poorly-researched but the Dark Grid series uses this scenario and is better than most. It's no Cormac McCarthy, but it's an interesting 'What If' scenario.
One Second After is also pretty good and concerns the aftermath of a weaponized EMP.
To those interested why exactly, please do yourself a HUGE favor and read this book.

It has two more in the series. Best urban survival fiction story i have ever read. EMP's are fucking scary because the human nature is scary. I was recommended this book on this subreddit a while back and i thank you, whoever you are.
I've been reading One Second After and the main character's daughter is a type 1 and I am wondering how long she will last.
I imagine insulin will have a good shelf life if you keep it as cool as possible. It might be good enough to bury the vials as deep as you can if you don't have any other method of refrigeration. There is also a method using clay pots called a Zeer fridge. A better way is to have a small dorm fridge powered with a generator or maybe solar panels, but no idea how long fuel will last.
One Second After by William R. Forstchen is a good fiction novel about an EMP attack on the US.
Amazing story and amazing journalism. I imagine stories like these will be common more common in the USA as the combination of climate change and our decreasing wealth starts increasing the divides between winners and losers and areas that become Red Zones, to use the language of this article.
Paolo Bacigalupi has written some good books exploring these themes:

The more Republican-influenced literature tends to play out as a return to Jeffersonian farming freeholds with cities turning into wealthy enclaves surrounded by riotous welfare slaves:

My guess is we might see a little bit of both if we're unlucky.
Anyways thanks for sharing.
Avid reader here.
Wool by Hugh Howey. (all of the series)
A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller, Jr. (all of the series)
One Second After by William R. Forstchen. (all of the series)
So many recommendations.
It depends on your tastes.
Edit: Hugh Howey encouraged and supported FanFiction based off of his Wool series and some of it is also pretty damn good.
It just so happens, I know the perfect book. One Second After by William R. Forstchen. There're a bunch of books in the series so have fun!
Post-apoc is hot right now. Some of the genre is supernatural horror as opposed to natural disaster, so you may have to be selective. The following all involve non-supernatural scenarios.
The Road by Cormac McCarthy.
Earth Abides by George Stewart.
Lucifer's Hammer by Niven & Pournelle.
One Second After by William Forstchen.
Wool by Hugh Howey.
The Remaining by DJ Molles.

I think you'd like One Second After. Its about the after effects of society once America has fallen in a war. There technological advances are taken away and they have to rebuild their lives and society yet survive. I read it and loved it .
Pure is also another good one. Its a YA dystopian but it a little different than the other ones out right now.
I'd love [ Blood Fever] ( http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CVDYC8U/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3ELTM32IWG58H&coliid=IXRE8YN1NYT6H) if I win. Now I'm off to see all the suggestions to add to my list!
