Dancing with Diabetes: Making insulin affordable again

  • November 17, 2018 4:49 pm

Standing behind current efforts to reign in the cost of insulin.  When my HMO refused to put Novolog on the formulary for me in 2018 (I have a Humalog allergy and so that was not acceptable), I had to fight to get it covered for one year.  That year will be over soon, and I doubt I will be given another exception. Why?

Certainly if you are in desperate need, you can and should go to a pharmacy and buy old school insulin such as Regular. It will keep you alive. But, while we have this current interest in pricing, let’s fight for lower costs. It’s time. Visit:  https://makeinsulinaffordable.org/ for more information.
