Just throwing in my experience/numbers, for those interested.
I'm a type 1 diabetic (for ~30 years) and take Apidra (short acting) and Lantus (long acting) daily. I use about 5 vials of each per 3 months. I "think" the cost of each vial, if I was paying sticker price, would be about $250.00.
So... 2 * 5 * 250 / 3 = $833 / month
As it turns out, there's several mitigating factors:
1. I have insurance, so I pay much less than that
2. For those without insurance, the insulin creator has programs to help such people pay for the insurance (discounts for some, max out-of-pocket for others)
