3. What's now dog insulin, was used in humans for decades. It's now generic which helps control cost.

But newer insulin is more predictable and many doctors don't suggest alternatives when patients can't afford prescribed insulin.

I often think diabetics should boycott newer insulin and go 'dog insulin' en masse, until prices are lowered. It's criminal what drug companies are getting away with. Lives are being lost.
