Basing things on previous numbers for myself (my insulin has changed since then because the insurance gets to override my doctor and experience).
Assuming
- 50 units of Lantus per day -> 4.5 vials per 3 months @ 300/vial = 1,350 USD/month
- 80 units of Apidra per day -> 7.2 vials per 3 months @ 300/vial = 2,160 USD/month
total = 3,510 USD/month
Now, to be fair, I'm older and have more insulin resistance than a younger diabetic would. Either way, the numbers without insurance add up real quick.
