Have a parent on fixed income that uses insulin daily. Due to the inflation and the increase in the cost of insulin, he’s having a harder and harder time affording it. $357 per month for just the insulin at Walmart when it used to be nearly free under trump. Anyone have any ideas on what he can do or where he could look to get a better price? I know this isn’t the typical type of post on this site, but I love him and want to help- and you guys are the smartest ppl I know

Yeah, my parents could use a vacation for sure. You know how people were buying IVM online from india… I wonder if he could do the same thing for insulin?
Probably not, temperature fluctuations destroy the quick acting insulin.
Good point
Absolutely could. Don't worry about the temperature, it takes a lot before insulin goes bad. I've been Type 1 diabetic for over 30 years, and I think I've bad vials only twice in all that time, and they came that way from the pharmacy.
