I found this announcement and thinking of signing up. I have been getting Afrezza with discount card, no insurance, from Costco. But price has been rising. This looks like a constant $120 (or $199) per box for 1year.

What does a box consist of? Like in terms of vials or units or days? ---

Seems like that would go faster than a vial, right? I have not done enough Afrezza to be able to compare amounts. ---

> [@Eric](#): > > Seems like that would go faster than a vial, right? Depending on choice, yes. I have used 4 unit. The $199 180 count pkg might be more breakeven or cheaper. My last Costco was $170, with discount, for 90 (not 120) 4unit cartridges. ---

They’re different combinations of dose cartridges, plus a few inhalers in each box ---

I also saw the first commercial on tv for afrezza that I’ve ever seen, just yesterday… so it appears they’re actually making a marketing push… which I’m glad to see
