Insulin and its salts exports to United States |2023
Directly from the world bank.
The largest non european source is the UAE with 575 kg which mostly functions as middle man for india and malaysia.
There already is a shortage of insulin in the USA now:
What is behind the insulin shortage in the US?
My claim is supported by the worldbank data.
Even with current imports the USA needs for insulin are barely reached.
Insulin Imports Are Not Meeting Countries’ Needs
"Import-dependent countries rely mostly on Denmark, France and Germany to source insulin for their patients,” says study lead author and WHF Emerging Leader Abhishek Sharma (SPH’15), who is an adjunct researcher in the Department of Global Health, an Emerging Leader at the World Heart Federation, and a senior research scientist at PRECISIONheor. “These three countries host manufacturing or corporate headquarters of Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly and Sanofi. Exports from other companies, like those located in India, China, and UAE, appear limited in terms of their outreach and export relatively smaller quantities.” "
So its save to say that a EU ban on insulin exports to the US would have catastrophic results
