Campaign 2025 - A Commitment to Assist
IOLEBA’s focus beginning the summer of 2025, and the remainder of this year is Diabetes and specifically Stage 1 diabetes, assisting American’s under the age of 65 access to lower insulin costs. As part of this focus we will be looking at diabetes as a disease across the USA and provide information, resources and action to assist the growing population in the USA that face this health issue. The positive news is there are solutions that can keep this becoming an epidemic. Presently however there is an epidemic for people with stage 1 diabetes and their need for insulin and its prohibitive costs. Our goal for the summer 2025 campaign is to help 60,000 stage 1 diabetes patients find lower cost insulin. Learn more and then direct someone you may know to our simple attempt to assist in finding some assistance.
Let's start with the facts...

To summarize:
- Type 1 diabetes affects about 2 million people in the U.S.
- This includes both adults and children.

Download the flyer, print it out and then use the black line at the bottom as the marker to cut the paper in half and you will have 2 flyers to post. Another way to distribute is to email this page to members, employees, family and friends. https://ioleba.org/insulin. The RxPrime Card is HIPAA compliant and is not backed by investors or traded on the stock market owned by shareholders. This card was created over 10 years ago for the purpose of helping people save money on their meds. IOLEBA as an organization was formed to support small business owners and is proud to be able to share this information as a service to everyone.

If this is your home address...we have some facts to share.
Diabetes is a worldwide epidemic
The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that the number of people living with diabetes worldwide has risen dramatically over recent decades. As of the latest data:
Around 830 million people globally have diabetes as of 2022, according to WHO estimates
This figure reflects a more than four-fold increase since 1990, when there were approximately 200 million people with diabetes
The majority of people with diabetes now live in low- and middle-income countries emphasize the urgent need for global action to address the rising prevalence, improve prevention, and ensure better access to diagnosis and care, especially given that a significant proportion of people with diabetes remain undiagnosed and untreated
While the IOLEBA Campaign 2025 is focused on Americans that can not afford their insulin, using the RxPrime card; we are an international organization of online entrepreneurs and small business owners. Diabetes is an international epidemic. Listed below are several international organizations people can obtain assistance and direction from.
