Last year I had really crappy insurance. This year it is also very crappy, but at least they “_somewhat_” cover NovoLog. (With my insurance last year it was not covered at all!) The problem with my new insurance is that Novolog is very expensive. But I got a discount card from Novo Nordisk’s Novocare site. (Novo Nordisk is the manufacturer of NovoLog). It’s really a great deal. The pharmacy runs your current insurance, and then applies the discount card on top of it. As advertised, it brings it down to only $35 per vial. That’s a really great deal if you think about it. Walmart charges $25 per vial for the old slow stuff - the “R” insulin.

The offer on that site seems to say $35 per 30-day supply, not per vial, plus some fine print that could make the deal worse. ---

> [@bkh](#): > > The offer on that site seems to say $35 per 30-day supply, not per vial, The minimum prescription you would get is 1 vial every 30 days. So that is the worst case. For most people it would be a better deal. Even if you are using less than 1 vial per month, the Novo usage instructions say “Dispose after 28 days, even if there is insulin left in the pen or vial”. So you could easily get a script for at least 1 vial per month. Otherwise your doctor would not be following the guidelines from the insulin manufacturer. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/4/48c2fb133b49c83979295f92fbf2798b6a28a1cd.png) From their site: [www.novolog.com/taking-novolog.html](https://www.novolog.com/taking-novolog.html) ---

@Eric, does your crappy insurance provide generic insulin at $30 / month? Because I thought that one of the Biden administration’s moves was to provide insulin at $30/month for everyone? Also, it seems like that $30/month insulin is just generic – you have to pay more for Novolog (although the coupon brings the price down to $35). I use Humalog and was told that Humalog and Novolog are interchangeable; obviously not the case for some people. I get my Humalog for $30 /month. ---

@bostrav59, For me, Humalog and NovoLog are not the same in a pump. I have posted a number of research studies showing that Humalog breaks down sooner, so it does not last 3 days as well. This was definitely the case for me. Even Tandem has a different recommendation for the time in changing your infusion and cartridge if you use Humalog vs. NovoLog. So the research is documented enough for them to know about it. I do not know what crappy stuff is covered by my insurance. I am happy to pay $35 per vial for something I know. The coupon makes it reasonable for me. Without the coupon it was over $70 per vial. And I think the coupon works in such a way that it will bring the price of whatever anyone is paying with their insurance down to $35. ---

You know I have your back right? Just say the word. 😃 A lot of it is expired Novolog, but always refrigerated. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/a/a4a2c7db5ed445652e953eec52f5fa6872dbdd40.jpeg) ![IMG_9778](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/6/66e3c475ce5c2d3d943218c8737ecda897245d9e.jpeg) ![IMG_9777](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/2/2ec18c44af41883e2245228435d1b6f7e8fe51f0.jpeg) ![IMG_9775](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/a/ae37a9126778d42c445050c431dc53ffdb4f172b.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/c/cc4e7d95038fb10d651aa519f0426f21984fba96.jpeg) ---

Thanks very much @ClaudnDaye! 😊 Wow, that is a stash! I actually had a stash too. I mean, I still have a stash, but I used some of it last year. So this year I am trying to rebuild it. I did not get any diabetes prescriptions filled last year! This year I got my Novolog prescription bumped up to help me rebuild it. ---

If I had to guess, I’d say I have probably between 300 - 500 pens/vials but it’s only a guess. I hoard because I never know when I may fall upon hard times and not have insurance at all…but I also hoard to help others. So you know you can always connect with me and I’ll hook you up with w/e you need. ---
