Fact-acting (bolus) analog insulin sourced in the US
We then investigated fast-acting (bolus) analog insulins. The insulin brands we researched were Apidra, FIASP, Humalog, and Novolog. The tabulated results follow:
Our findings for fast-acting analog insulins were very different from what we found for basal insulin:
(a) there is a shocking difference in value between pens and vials, with a very significant advantage to vials
(b) there still is value to the Walgreens Prescription Savings Club
(c ) Humalog in vials is the best value in fast-acting insulin, being 15% cheaper than Apidral in vials and a shocking 30% cheaper than Novolog in vials (all prices with a GoodRx discount)
Once we had figured USA sourcing, we looked into legally purchasing insulin online in Canada.
