MARQUETTE — The Affordable Insulin Project offers tools, resources, and data so that people impacted by today’s rising health care and insulin costs can positively influence the affordable access to this life essential drug.

Insulin costs are on the rise. For people living with diabetes, the increase in insulin prices can become a matter of life or death. People living with Type 1 Diabetes need insulin to survive as their pancreas no longer creates insulin on its own.
