- s1artibartfast 2y agoYou buy it at Walmart. At Walmart it is $25 for 1,000 Units of Novolin N [1], with no insurance or prescription. 1000 units is about a month for a lot of people. Novolin N is a third or 4th generation Insulin approved in 1950. You can get 1000 units of Humalog (Approved in 1996) for $43 at walgreens or most pharmacies (or 19.99 with a Walgreens coupon) [2] The more recently approved version of Insulin Afrezza, (approved in 2014) costs about $2,000 for a monthly supply.[3] There has been a fairly consistent march of insulin improvements since the first versions were sold in 1926.
