Up here in Montreal For 3 boxes of Levimir with 5 vials of insulin per box i was charged $249.99
For 3 boxes of Novo-rapid with 5 vials of insulin per box i was charged $192.99
Fortunately my insurance covers the total cost which is a good thing because i couldnt afford to be diabetic if i had to pay the entire cost
The actual dispensing pens (Novo-Nordisk)are free from the pharmacy and only need to be changed every few years or if they break.
