I can not believe that generic Glucophage is on the list at walmart, my boyfriend takes it and it is expensive. Thanks Malena

Malena, I am delighted that you found this post to be helpful! Yep, metformin (Glucophage) is one of the most commonly prescribed diabetes drugs. I think it's wonderful that both Wal-Mart and Kmart are including it in their low-cost generic programs.

I know that the generics are $4, but what about other maintenance medications that have no equivalent like Avandia?
