In general it is the same.
Prescription insulins do offer more options and so for some people may allow better control of the sugar.

Why is insulin a over the counter drug?
I am from The United States other country's may have different laws. Insulin is sold over the counter due to the fact that people with Diabetes don't always have a prescription for the medicine yet they still need to take it to live. In my area these insulin's range in price from $40-$60 There is a list of insulin sold over the counter such as Novolin N, Novolin R, Novolin 70/30, Humulin N, Humulin R, Humulin 70/30, Humulin 50/50and so on. There is a list of insulin NOT SOLD OVER THE COUNTER. Apidra, lantus, Novolog, Humalog ect. So in fact it would be murder if you could not purchase insulin over the counter. Although if you have no money and you need insulin it would seem that you might be out of luck or life.
