My health insurance just doubled my co-pay for all my diabetic related products..... why? beccause I'm not using "generic".
Problem is, there ARE NO GENERIC insulin, testing strips, syringes, etc...
Rule with my insurance was std. co-pay if GENERIC wasn't available....but now, ONLY diabetic supplies must pay the name-brand co-pay. some bastard with my insurance got some nice $$$$ from Eli Lilly or Novo-nodisk. Bastard....
Well, novo nordisk does make reli-on (n, r, 70/30, syringes) for walmart. I doubt your insurance would consider them generic but its worth asking. as far as the syringes and T/S, I would ask insurance if any store brands fall under "generic", or if you have 3-tiers of copays, what the preferred make/model is. The reality is that when you have 3-tiers, ie $10/$25/$50 they want you to use the $10 & $25 ones. They don't want you to use the $50 one, hence the $50.Originally posted by: Souka

I've heard that inhaled insulin was very fast acting and has absorbtion issues in some people. Meaning to take "10" units, you'd have to snort 15 or so units. I like my pump just fine thank you.

Just what i don't need,
Having to worry more about highs or lows due to different absorbtion issues.
I'm using Novolog and Lantus now and the Novolog dose is now starting to be
a little higher than usual otherwise i stay high after meals.
