I spend $25 for a 100 units bottle at WalMart over the counter. I take 3-5 units twice a day. One bottle lasts 3-4 weeks. I use Novalin-N for long lasting effects and Novalin 70/30 for a little faster results. I'm type 2 and not type one, but I'm sure you could work out a plan that would fit and would be much cheaper. They have a very short duration Novalin that you take right before a meal.

The point here is many people don't realize that insulin is cheap if it's over the counter. Go to a doctor and get a script and the price is 10 fold.

Insulin is insulin. The 70/30 works for most. Type 2 diabetes can be cured/mitigated so no insulin needed. Type 1s are in a different boat.

[Openurmind]

Yep. And CVS, Walgreens, Etc. want $125 for Novalin-N cash price which is what they “try to” charge the insurance companies. But the insurance companies probably only actually pay $30. You know they are NOT paying anymore for it their cost wholesale than Walmart is. It is outright price gouging for cash purchases.

Thank you.

I use over the counter insulin too and people on twitter act like its absolute poison. Sorry, it’s not the same stuff as the pump stuff, but it works well, lasts long, and is dirt cheap.
