Everyone is aware brand drugs cost more than generic drugs. Companies that make brand drugs must factor in hundreds of millions in research costs, therefore they must make that up in their pricing. Early diabetics and all diabetics should know about this.

When you begin with the brand name first you have a chance to fully appreciate the, sometimes startling, differences between the two forms of the drug. It will be a lasting lesson.
