As a diabetic who was diagnosed much later in life, I too am amazed by the cost of medication. Even though I am T2, Mounjaro will cost me an estimated $50 a month stating January 1. That’s up from $25. The cost without insurance? $1126..

Farxiga is $700 without insurance. My CGM is $500 without insurance. I am convinced there is a corrupt correlation between the proposed legislation and the cost of pharmaceutical treatments. In closing, one of the most significant glucose monitoring systems (POGO) went under after the company was unable to gain traction in the diabetes market. It was a one touch system that was a game changer. But pharmacies didn’t stock it (or wouldn’t) and now it’s back to the prick and text strip for many. If only the powers that be really cared about us more than the almighty dollar..
