Great to see more competition in the insulin analogs space.
Walmart is also famous for selling regular insulin for $25/vial for many years now. Regular insulin isn't always as easy to dose as the modern insulin analogs, but it's a viable option for most people who are cost-constrained who don't otherwise have access to insurance.

- RHSeeger 5y agoPlease don't do that. The older R/N/L insulins are clearly not as good as the newer insulins, that much is true. But they are sufficient to live a relatively healthy life as a diabetic. You need to be more careful and strict with your diet and activity, but there's nothing inherent in them that causes blindness or death.
