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.
NovoRapid in Ontario, last time I checked, was around $35 CAD per 10mL vial.

NovoLog (same thing, different name) in the US is around $330 USD per same 10mL vial.
