Price for insulin is really very high. But.... We cannot say that milk is very expensive without understanding what is amount and how much one need it every day. Insulin is vital for diabetics type 2. Yes, type 2, not type 1 diabetics. How many diabetics type 2 do not have Rx for insulin even health plan companies they work for, will pay that price? So, how expensive Insulin for Clayton McCook's daughter?
200 units are not safe. We have to be very very careful. If I take more units of insulin then there is low sugar. If I take less units of insulin then I need for today, then sugar start to go up and up. We are, diabetics type 2, all the time on high/low swings. WE actually do not have choice but take this ride. Of cause, if we are able to find doctor who Rx insulin for us. We are type 2 diabetics, second hand population, every one talking about, no one care.
With article like this it is presented that health care for type 1 diabetics are so high, and of cause they need advocate to push their agenda. Why there are no advocates for type 2 diabetics, 95% of all diabetic population? Does out of pocket cost is lover for type 2 diabetics? Still, we do not have advocate who will present our needs, to provide care we need, to support and education for public. There are only Barking Therapy, in Med Pro offices, in Media, and everywhere we go. But the cost of our care can be lowered so significantly. Just Rx insulin to everyone who has elevated level of sugar. No pre-diabetes. Just Rx insulin, and those patient will pay Insulin price, it will be not so expensive for them to keep jobs and be healthy. It is just one vial a month, or one box of pens a month.
With 95% of diabetics who will buy insulin, the cost of insulin will go down. At least it must be taken into consideration, insulin is expensive to manufacture. Also there are a lot of studies must be done. The prose for studies alspo taken from the cost of insulin. So, just take it as the fact, there are no need in any oral medicine for diabetics type 2. We all need insulin in injections.Just one generation, and cost for insulin will drop. The cost of diabetes care will drop. The millions of diabetics type 2 will be able to stand on two feet, and work effectively.
Just $303 for month, and stokes and MI would go to the older age. No DVT. No depression. No obesity.
Really, what MD is going to do? What diabetics advocates will talking about?
Clayton McCook, of Edmond, Oklahoma, an advocate who has worked with T1International and the Washington, DC-based nonprofit Patients for Affordable Drugs, says he is grateful that Congress has devoted the time and energy to bringing attention to the issue, especially as many Americans probably still have no awareness of insulin's high price.Well, he pays $340 for 1000 units. How many units a day take his daughter? He did not say that, why? Let us take a look at how much he pays for every one day to keep his child alive? She is diabetic type 1. She needs insulin to survive. And there is 100 units a list for month. Personally I take 400 units a day. I am diabetic type 2. The question is, why it is type 1 diabetics are so active? They bark very loud that they are different then we are, type 2 diabetics. They ask to educate public who they are. So Let take a look at the advocate for diabetics type 1. How much this pen?
But, McCook told Medscape Medical News, "I hope it doesn't end with this report."
His 10-year-old daughter has type 1 diabetes and the cost of her insulin rose this summer from $331 a vial to $340, said McCook. "At some point we have to get past the talk and start to see some concrete action," he urged.

What if I don’t have insurance? Can I still save on Lantus? Yes, Sanofi is committed to providing savings for people who pay full retail price for Lantus. If you qualify, you’ll pay $99* for a 10ml vial or $149* for a pack of 5 pens.
https://www.lantus.com/using-solostar-insulin-penSo, really what advocate try to sell? Pack of 5 pens, the insulin I take, it is Lantus Solo Star, it is 300 units each pen, 1500 units in pack. I use three pens for two days. No, I do not pay for insulin. It is too expensive for me. When I do not have health assistance, and it happens very often, I simple stay out of insulin, and speed to fatality. Health plan my man company work for, pays $10,000 for three month supply. As I said, I am not type 1 diabetic, never was. I am type 2 diabetic. Diabetics type 2 are those diabetics who need more then 200 units insulin every day to be injected. Diabetics type 1 need less then 50 units, and I am sure, Clayton McCook, of Edmond, Oklahoma, an advocate who has worked with T1International and the Washington, DC-based nonprofit Patients for Affordable Drugs,child need less then 10 units of insulin. This dose of insulin can be taken safely by every one non diabetic.

GoodRx.com, a website that aggregates claims data to estimate the average list price of medications (the price of insulin without the negotiated discounts or rebates), published cost information per vial (1000 units) for commonly prescribed insulins in August 2018. The following prices are averaged from Walgreens and CVS pharmacies:So, take closer look at the numbers.Just go to diabetes forum and ask diabetics typ1 how many units of insulin they use daily. Is there are really ture answer? Not at all. Dose of insulin getting lower with time. Also, the price converted to 1000 units. In vial usually it is 100 units. One box of Lantus Solo Star will cost about $350, but there are 1500 units, and there are 5 pens in box. Lantus and Lantus Solo Star are the same type of insulin, but different way of administration. So, it is easy to see that advocate simple do provide false info.

Currently, 7.4 million Americans use insulin to treat their diabetes. At minimum, these patients use one vial of insulin each month. However, some patients require multiple vials of insulin or use multiple types of insulins (which necessitates multiple vials) each month.
