I sure do. I use Humalog now and it's out of patent. There just isn't a generic available for it because it's just not all that cost effective to do. Creating and producing a generic for biologics (like insulins) is not simple like it is for simple chemicals. As I understand it, they need to undergo trials and the like, which drastically raises the price of creating them.
Sorry, I meant to say that diabetics don't want the slow-acting generic insulin Walmart sells, which the parent was discussing (except as a last resort). My wife is type 1 diabetic.
