A member asked:
Help! need to know if there's a more affordable drug besides insulin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: Hi. Yes, there are cheaper drugs, but nothing else that does what insulin does. If you're type 1, you have no options - it's insulin. If you're type 2, there are alternative options, but all the excellent ones are new, and as expensive as insulin or more so.
