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.

How much is six units of insulin for a diabetic?
It depends on the type of insulin and also the diabetic. It varies greatly on long acting insulin and short acting insulin. For short acting insulin you need to find out the insulin to carbohydrate ratio for a diabetic first. Using a sliding scale you need to determine the blood sugar of the diabetic and also how many carbohydrates they have ingested. Whether or not it is a Type 1 or Type 2 diabetic will also affect the outcome. For an average sized adult with type 1 diabetes, they would need to consume approximately 60-85 grams of carbohydrates, but again it depends on the individual greatly.
