What insulin do you take? We do not have health insurance right now either, and my husband gets his Humalog for free from the Lilly Patient Assistance Program...
The insulin costs me about 300.00 a month right now and that is doing the vials and syringes. From what they (SCBN) told me there is a one time membership fee and then roughly about 55.00 a month for both types of insulin I need. I tried the patient assistance last year and was turned down. It took 3 months to hear back from them. I have a diabetes educator who has given me lists of places but it seems like every where I have tried I hit a dead end. My income is NOT high so I don't know.......the coupons I've found are for co-pays if you have insurance. My doctor gets very little insulin samples.

I'm really not trying to be a naysayer, it is just that their website states several times over $25/month per prescription. Granted, $50 a month is a lot less than $300/month, but it really sounds to me like what they do is assist you in filling out paperwork to help you get assistance from the manufacturer. If you have previously attempted this and have been turned down, I'm not sure what they will do differently for you that might help you get approved.
Here is a Lantus coupon link Keep in mind that your cost will be more than $25 - the maximum benefit per prescription is $100. The SoloStar pens run around $150-$200 (depending on your pharmacy), so your cost would be $50-$100. This card is good for 6 months. I tested it out - said I had no insurance and after I clicked through, a card appeared for me to print. It might not hurt to try - it could represent a $100/month savings for you.
Best of luck - I know it is frustrating.
Have you tried Walmart? I know when I had Gestational Diabetes I was able to purchase there for about $15.00/vial. I am not able to find information over the internet, but calling the local pharmacy in Walmart should get you the information you need. I also found their brand of test strips and meters to be a great price compared to even what my co-pays would have been. I hope this helps you.
