when i was visiting the r/ diabetes, yea there are different kinds of insulin from the 3 companies. theres seems to be delayed released, or immediate release, or another that works later than normal gradually to help regulate it more easily. is your wife type 1? i know type 1 uses CGM(sensors and the device) the and insulin pumps to moniter thier insulin levels, also super expensive. this is how the companies like elly lily, sanofi, and Novo nordisk can GOUGE people, because they have trioply for insulin for a long time.
