New Insulin Discount Options and Where to Find Them

New Insulin Discount Options in 2020 and Where to Find Them

It’s amazing what a little political pressure can produce!

Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk and Sanofi are the only companies currently manufacturing insulin for the U.S. market. Lately, they’ve been under pressure to lower insulin costs. Thankfully, our fight is being heard but it’s not time to stop pushing. As many are aware, the cost saving options and capped prices (in Colorado and Illinois) are not enough. People continue to die because they cannot afford insulin.

I wrote this article to ensure more people are aware of the new cost saving options from Novo and Lilly and ones that have been previously available. The companies are all offering similar options but only Novo Nordisk a free one time supply of insulin to any patient in immediate need.
