Have you saved money this month with the $35 monthly cap on insulin?

Inquiring minds want to know 😁

Enough to make a difference in your budget? You don't have to answer if you don't want....

Only $5, so the effect is negligible.

Both my sisters are diabetic but neither are on insulin.

@Stelladorable Do you use insulin? Have you saved money? Since you asked...

I am not on insulin. I'm not on Medicare either, so I don't think it wouldn't apply to me anyway.

Don't get it. I'm concerned about those who can not get their diabetic meds due to others abusing them by getting their doctors to prescribe them for weight loss, they should be ashamed.

YES! YES! YES!!!!! @Stelladorable .🥰

I am a Type 1 diabetic for more than 50 years. I use Novolog insulin pens for mealtime and Levemir insulin pens for basal insulin. Since I now have double diabetes, I need higher dosages due to insulin resistance. So I need 2 boxes of Novolog a month. The Levemir also so my copays were over a thousand a month. Now $70.00 a month for both and no cap on number of boxes. An enormous difference!!

A true shame that it's only for people with Medicare
