Yes, it’s disgusting. Wasn’t the patent for insulin originally sold for a nominal sum of $1 or similar as well? That was purposely so that no-one was deprived of life-saving medicine.
 
This makes me grateful for the NHS. Especially as I just worked out how much even just the libre would cost a year if I didn’t get it on prescription
