The Price of Insulin has Skyrocketed-You don’t want to waste it.
Diabetes is not only a chronic disease that has become a global epidemic, but it is now the most expensive chronic condition in the United States today.
Did you know that up to 25 percent of insulin users are not storing it properly?
If insulin is not stored correctly; it can rapidly lose its’ potency and ultimately its’ ability to control your blood sugars properly.
This can lead to having to dispose of insulin that is no longer effective. How many times have you had to discard insulin pens that don’t seem to be as effective as they should be? Besides the danger of using insulin that is not effective; what is the cost of wasting insulin products that are no longer any good?
Let’s make a supposition. I have two sons with diabetes; and frequently had to throw away insulin pens that seemed ineffective. This may have been because they were placed in a locker or backpack, with an ice pack or cooler that gradually lost the ability to keep the insulin “safe”. I would say over the course of a year, I have had to dispose of over 46 insulin pens!! (That number could be higher) (2)
Now, for the fun of it:
let’s do a little calculation. At this time, depending on what type of insulin you use, the cost of a box of five insulin pens can range between 50-200 dollars. (This can vary with insurance, etc.), If I lost about 9 boxes of insulin yearly through insulin that has gone bad; I will have lost between 450-1800 dollars! In addition, I may have actually lost more, because my insurance company possibly did not authorize a refill of insulin based on what they thought was overuse.
Enter the ViViCap1; the solution to ensuring your insulin stays safe and effective. With just a small investment of under 100 dollars; you can potentially save thousands of dollars over the life of your ViViCap. The science is real!
