About This Medication

# Lilly Cares Patient Guide: How to Get Humulin N at Low or No Cost ## About This Program Lilly Cares is Eli Lilly and Company's prescription assistance program designed to help uninsured and underinsured patients access their insulin medications, including Humulin N (NPH human insulin), at little or no cost. If you're struggling to afford your diabetes medication, this program may be able to help you get the insulin you need to manage your Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes effectively. ## What is Humulin N? Humulin N is an intermediate-acting insulin used to help control blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. It works by replacing the insulin that your body should naturally produce. This medication is often used as part of a diabetes treatment plan that may include other medications or insulin types. Proper insulin management is essential for preventing serious diabetes complications, and Lilly Cares can help ensure cost is not a barrier to your treatment. ## Who Can Apply?
