Former president Donald Trump stated insulin companies are price Gouging on lifesaving insulin and Biden reversed it so they can charge whatever they want under President Trump insulin prices were dropping but under President Biden and Kamala Harris insulin prices have doubled the average cost to stay alive with diabetes is $26,995 and it's going to head up to $35,000 under the Democrats administration as Obama stated if we make insulin cost high diabetics will be forced to crawl under a rock and die and every other Nation including Mexico a bottle of insulin is $6 not $417 a bottle for a product that cost between $1 and $3 to make.
Here are the facts:
Democrats are proud of this;

(America the price gouging Nation):
No one with diabetes should die because they can't afford their insulin. It's a medicine that can be produced for just a few dollars… but manufacturers Eli Lilly, Sanofi, and Novo Nordisk mark up the price as much as 5,000 percent and there are seven million Americans with diabetes that have no choice but to pay.

They up need to update the cost of treating diabetes per year $16,000 that was like back in 1994 it's more like $27,000 a year; now who are they can kidding?

Obama never said anything close to what you claim about wanting diabetics to crawl under rocks and die. Your first link lists ten Type 1 diabetics who died from 2016-2019. Biden was not President--Trump was. Your second link actually classifies your claim as false. Your third link is a short essay that contains a personal anecdote and no national statistics.
You never benefited from Trump's insulin cap. No one did. It's implementation was set for January 22, 2021. Biden froze it before it could take effect. It was only going to help a very small amount of people: low income people and uninsured people who use Federal Health Care Clinics. Biden's justification was that there was too much red tape in that proposal and that each FHCC would need to hire, on average, one new clerk to handle the paperwork (and most of that paperwork was to enroll people in this special program and prove that the people were getting the full discount). Biden campaigned on capping insulin costs for all insulin-using diabetics at $35 month. When the bill came to him for his signature in August 2022, the Republicans had stripped the bill to grant the cap only to those diabetics on Medicare (with Part D)--no cap for other diabetics. That cap took effect January 2023. Biden continued to encourage drugmakers to cap insulin prices. In March 2023 Eli Lilly capped the monthly price of their insulin products for all diabetics at $35. In June 2023 Sanofi did the same.
If you are still alive and you get Eli Lilly or Sanofi insulin at $35 a month, you can give some credit to Joe Biden and the Democrats. Trump never delivered and was never going to deliver to all Medicare recipients, to young diabetics, or to uninsured diabetics. In four years, Trump never produced the health care plan he claimed he had ready when he campaigned. Instead he let Paul Ryan write a plan (which did not provide what Trump had promised) and then he lobbied to repeal the ACA (Obamacare) and replace it with Ryan's plan.
