Need some advice from DUers my brother cant afford his insulin

[gvstn]

6. I've been looking at this recently for my mother

One thing I have found is that Walmart has incredibly cheap insulin. They set a two year contract with a big supplier like Lily and the supplier agrees to produce insulin under the Walmart Relion brand. I know for NPH Lily's Humulin N is $87.00 at Walgreen's, where Walmart's Relion NPH is $25. There may be a very slight difference in metabolism rates but it can be adjusted to with proper monitoring within a week or two. From a quick look at the Relion website they only produce R, N and 70/30 types not the super fast acting ones like Humolog so it depends what type(s) he is currently using if Relion has an equivalent and is even a possibility. I would talk to his doctor or whoever would prescribe his insulin to see if they can set him up with a dosing schedule on this brand if possible.
