Even the modern rapid acting insulin that doctors are prescribing (Humalog, Basaglar, etc.) can be very expensive.

CVS filled a month supply for me after my insurance number had changed and when I went to pick it up they kindly asked for $1300 before I gave them the new insurance info.

Rapid (minutes) being modern insulin. Short acting (takes 30 minutes) being traditional insulin. Rapid for the most part being an additional technology and convenience over short acting traditional.

But yes, I didn't leave a complete comment.
