The insulin will go to Americares, Direct Relief and Dispensary of Hope. The organizations said they will give the insulin to about 200 free clinics in the U.S. to stock them until 2022.

Eli Lilly also is donating $2 million to relief agencies to help diabetes patients get medicine, supplies, medical care and insurance coverage.
