Insulin dependent diabetics are at significant risk of death from low blood sugar. Between 5% -10% of diabetics die from a hypoglycemic event. Insulin is a powerful drug and without proper and careful usage, diabetics are at a risk of putting themselves into a hypoglycemic crisis that can result in death. Diabetics will often take insulin right before they eat a meal. If you take a dose appropriate for mealtime and DONT eat almost immediately, you will enter a hypoglycemic state and if the patient doesn’t recognize the situation  he is in, the hypoglycemia can render him incapable of saving himself.

Republicans have been gutting healthcare for decades at this point, I certainly won't be holding my breath for the most corrupt and incompetent one ever to actually help the average joe for once.

Here's a realistic take on what will happen:

Trump decides to "bail out" some major pharma companies claiming it will help them lower prices, happens to choose a company he has financial ties with. Said company gets millions and doesn't lower prices at all, rinse and repeat. Tis the Republican way since at least nixon and raegan.

Out of all the 2020 candidates I'd say Bernie probably has the best chances of actually lowering drug prices, but most of the major dem candidates are starting to promote universal healthcare and other policies that could help considerably.

Side note, Trump also briefly promoted "legalizing all drugs" while simultaneously praising Duterte for massacring alleged drug users in the Philippines. "I don't stand by anything" - actual trump quote, one of the rare cases he was briefly self aware and told the truth.
