I'd be willing to bet that any open source alternative approach to insulin manufacturing that gets any traction would have drug companies quickly lobbying governments to license insulin production, or they'd launch ads campaigns about the dangers of "socialist insulin", or something. They'll do their best to kill off the competition no matter what.
Insulin is cheap to manufacture. Around the world in countries that have regulated drug pricing it's also cheap to buy. The best (as in proven-to-work) way to reduce the price in places where it's expensive is to stop drug companies charging whatever they want.
