I just picked up 3 - 15 ML packs of each of my two insulin prescriptions at Costco on Thursday, NovoRapid was $199.2, Lantus $305.83, now that I'm over 65 and on Ontario Drug Benefit plan they were $1.89 each. I have a couple friends in the US who pay much higher than the retail prices mentioned above.
My sister also a diabetic, who winters in the US south takes a six month supply with her when she heads south in November, as long as it is stored correctly it will easily last that long.
