    I am on the Lantus Solostar pen and can not afford it since I have no other support. Just some helpful info though to any who are interested. My Dr. signed me up for patient assistant with the drug maker and I get my insulin from them for free because I make under a certain amount. You have to show proof and fill out an application but it is certainly worth the effort. I just received over 1000$ worth from them today. Please check into it with your Doctor.

    I no longer have insurance and can not afford the Price of Lantus. The Lantus was great because it lasted 24 hours.

    I have found that I can replace by using the Walmart “N” insulin for $25 over the counter. I was also taking Humlalog Mix in the evening (like N and R mixed) so I am buying the Walmart “R” and doing my own mix for $25.

    My out of pocket for Lantus had gone to $127 localy and the Mix had gone to around $140.

    You here alot of bad things about Walmart but this deal on insulin is a life saver……..
