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..
And yet so many of the MAGA crowd in need of lower priced insulin and other medications are responsible for this monster returning to a position of power. Thank you, Chuck, for getting to the point again!
Holy Cow, 900??!! You are deserving to count on some higher power watching over you, to not have long term consequences from that! 😳😳😳❤️👏🏻
Praise Be!
May you continue with your healthier life, and work to keep on with that challenge, for years to come. ❤️
Suffering from diabetes complications for lack of adequate diabetes care, is a brutal leopard to wrestle with as it eats one’s face, is all I have to say and the fact that hundreds of thousands of undeserving diabetic patients forced to ration diabetes medication because of the tens of millions of thoughtless Americans’ votes is nothing but needless cruelty. 😡

It is a SHAME that in the wealthiest country on Earth, that prices like these are the norm 😡
Especially when we KNOW that Congress can do something about it!
Farxiga is a crazy expensive drug, I know from the pharmacy I work in. 😐
And every insulin patient who voted red deserves everything they have coming to them and more.
