And Civica Insulin Project is on track to produce the first of three biosimilar insulins, starting next year, for $30 per vial and $55 for a box of five pens\u2013and Civica will be serving as the insulin manufacturer for California\u2019s CalRx Biosimilar Insulin Initiative.

365 No Days Off for T1D: June 7-11<\/strong>
\nPeople who live with T1D don\u2019t get a single day off. For all 365 days of the year, they live through an unrelenting cycle of blood sugar testing, insulin injections, and decisions. That\u2019s why for five straight days from June 7-11, we\u2019re taking the challenge to be active and truly take \u201cno days off\u201d to honor everyone living with T1D. Ready to join us?
