Definitely a win! It's important to note what type of insulin this is, insulin glargine (a long acting insulin). For those who are already on Lantus or Toujeo it will definitely be a plus. Hopefully next they'll do short acting insulins (lispro and aspart)

I read that the company Civica, makes 3 types of insulin, but I'm not educated about insulin and also don't know if all three will be offered
