PRESCRIPTION. AT. WALMART. Big pharma doesn’t want you to know, but insulin is more accessible to many people than they think. Anyways, eat the rich. DON’T DO THAT BC THAT’S A DIFFERENT BRAND THAN YOU USUALLY GET, AND THEREFORE A DIFFERENT DOSAGE THAN WHAT YOU’RE USED TO. if you take the same dose of a different brand of insulin, like the guy in the story did, there’s a good chance you will either critically overdose or critically underdose and either way you’ll be in trouble. DO NOT!!!!! attempt to put “walmart insulin” into an insulin pump or pen. If you must use it, TALK TO THE PHARMACIST ON THE FLOOR and CALL YOUR ENDOCRINOLOGIST(or educator) for information on how to dose this. Do not consult the internet. The only place online I recommend consulting is type 1 support groups–there’s a chance someone with insulin paid for by insurance can spare a vial. Also TALK TO YOUR ENDO!!!!! They carry fridges FULL of samples of novolog/humalog. Trust me. The drug reps give them free vials like candy. My endo always makes sure if someone’s low on supply, she sends them home with at least two vials. Explain your situation. They get it. AND call your general physician. Chances are good they have vials in their fridges as well. These two types of insulin are wildly different and WILL cause harm. Keep an eye on your insulin stock and try not to get to this point; your doctors (despite what you may think of them) WILL try to help you in ways they can. Always ask for samples. Be safe, t1ds. This man specifically died after taking cheaper insulin and people reblog it telling others to do the same. Walmart insulin is a corporate “solution” that does nothing but make people who have no knowledge of diabetes think that the insulin crisis is solved. It is One type of insulin that does not work for all diabetics, but because people don’t even know there are different types of insulin, they all go “oh awesome they fixed the insulin prices!” and 1) think Walmart is a great disability-friendly company, and 2) become more complacent in a crisis that is still killing millions of us. Fuck Walmart insulin and fuck the US Healthcare System. -- source link
