Hi everyone! I’m collecting research about extent to which the Inflation Reduction Act has effected the cost of insulin. I really need the perspective of T1 diabetics living in the U.S so please fill in my google form (results are anonymous) ans share with other T1D. If you’re open to doing an online interview please contact me at this email: 148097@ishweb.nl.

I don’t know if this will help you in your research but there is an app and website called GoodRx that shows prices of medications at different pharmacies in the location selected by the user.
Prices may vary greatly between pharmacies, and depending on the brand and whether the patient uses vials or pens, etc.

I took a look into it but sadly the website only works in the US. I will try using VPN or another method, but thanks for letting me know!!!
