“I ran out of insulin a week ago. There was a glitch with the insurance company, and when I went to pick up my insulin, they said my co-pay was over $1000. So, I just ate low carbs for the week.”

A version of this story happens all across America, every day, insulin rationing is becoming commonplace.

During the pandemic, many people living with diabetes are facing financial barriers that are forcing them to chose between getting insulin or paying for food and rent.

As Diabetes Specialists, we can help our community access low or no cost insulin, so no one goes without this life-saving hormone.

Dr. Diana Isaacs, PharmD, BCPS, BC-ADM, BCACP, CDCES collaborated with ADCES team members to create this detailed and immensely helpful Insulin Cost Savings Toolkit.

This toolkit is especially relevant as unemployment increases with our current crisis and people need resources to secure their daily insulin.

Thank you Dr. Isaacs and Team for creating this awesome resource to improve insulin access for anyone in need.
