Quick note...Save $ on insulin......Walmart Buy 3ml.

April 5, 2017

Quick note to you............As I've said, I end up throwing out almost 3/4 of a vial of (R) insulin every month because of the small amount I use per day.  It's so EXPENSIVE THAT WAY EVEN IF I'M USING WALMART...........once insulin is opened, it only has a one month 'life'.  

Today when I picked up (R) insulin at Walmart, I ordered two vials so I would have 2 months' worth. Well, they had one vial of (R)  @ $144.72 and it was the 10ml. that I usually get.  THEN, they only had a 3 ML AVAILABLE  for my second vial.  The cost of that was $$43.42.    Wow!  That's wonderful.  I would be paying far less for the amount I throw out every month.  

Of course I bought both and found they do get the 3ml occasionally.  I asked if I could order that size.  I was told I could and 'special ordered'  5 boxes of 3ml.  It will be in the refrigerator and ready for the next 6 months.  I am fortunate enough to be able to buy this many.  Think of how wonderful it would be for others, perhaps with scant finances, to be able to do this.  To be able to buy a smaller amount at less money.  

I had looked on line for this possibllity and saw it advertised in Canada and have been trying to research how to buy that way.    Previously both Walgreen's and Walmart stated they did not have access to that size of insulin here in the United States.  

Well, here we are.  another miracle for me .  I hope for others of you out there as well!  

Humulin (R)...10ml......$144.72
                           3ml......$ 43.42               WALMART....  

With love....
