About the Insulin Price Crisis

  • Since the 1990s, the cost of insulin has increased over 1,200%, yet the cost of production for a vial of analog insulin is between $3.69 and $6.16.
  • Spending by patients with type 1 diabetes on insulin nearly doubled from 2012 to 2016, increasing from $2900 to $5700.
  • One of every four patients with type 1 diabetes has had to ration their insulin due to cost. Many have died.


About the Chapter 

We are a group of advocates working on #insulin4all action in Kentucky to advocate for transparency and lower insulin costs. We are made up of volunteers who are passionately doing this work in addition to our day jobs. 

  • We promote awareness of the pricing-gouging practices of insulin manufacturers and the financial burden it creates for people with diabetes.
  • We empower individuals impacted by the high price of insulin to share their stories and fight for change toward making life-saving insulin affordable.
Visit the #insulin4all action page for more info about the issues and tools to help you take action.
