About This Medication

# Novo Nordisk Patient Assistance Program Guide: How to Get NovoLog at Low or No Cost ## About This Program The Novo Nordisk Patient Assistance Program (PAP) helps patients who cannot afford their insulin medications, including NovoLog (insulin aspart). This program provides NovoLog at little to no cost to eligible patients. If you have been prescribed NovoLog to manage your Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes and are struggling with the cost, this guide will help you understand if you qualify and how to apply. ## About NovoLog NovoLog is a rapid-acting insulin analog used to help control blood sugar levels in people with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. It works quickly to lower blood sugar after meals and is typically taken multiple times per day. Because insulin is essential for managing diabetes, the cost should never prevent you from getting the medication you need. ## Who Can Apply?
