Although I appreciate the $25/vial insulin sold at walmart, its unfortunate that its such an old-school version that that it makes it almost dangerous to try and manage diabetes with it *obviously better than nothing though.

I know, before insurance, it costs around $240 a vial, and I know personally I go through roughly 3 vials a month. I would guess I use a lot less insulin than a lot of others too.

So I know the manufacturer isn't the only one to blame, and maybe its unfair to completely blame them, but as much as the manufacturers are donating to politicians I cant imagine they are doing a lot to fight it either.
