Uh.... Why are you paying so much? I would ditch your insurance plan if doses are that hard to get.
Any clinic or hospital will likely provide it for free if you have some records. They will certainly provide it for free if you are in a situation where you need it asap. Just walk in. They are there to help, and they get it.

I thought you were joking about the need for insulin. My bad. It's very easy to get. Free and if not, cheap. It's cheaper if you do Not have insurance. But do not lie.

For all you followers of this. Just go to Walmart (Assuming you live in the US). $15.00 no questions asked if you do not have insurance.

While better than nothing, Walmart insulin isn't great. I was in a bad place for a few days and had to use it. Wouldn't recommend for a long period of time.

Also, as of today it costs $73 a vial. $86 if you choose to use pens.

Walmart provides Novo....... Like 90% of Canada and the US. Most popular brand for decades.

No... It does not. Walk in. Ask them. If you have no insurance, it is cheaper and most of the times free. Especially if you can show that you can not afford insurance.

Do not let the downvotes discourage you. Some people like to feel like victims. Hit up your local Walmart (or any major drug store) they will take care of you.

It’s not the doses, it’s the ER visit. Best pharmacy I could find for late thanksgiving day is in Morgantown (somebody above said a pharmacy in Canton is open as well).

Walmarts in the area are all closed too.
