I buy my supplies at american diabetes wholesale, they're inexpensive and efficient.

Response from: No Medical Life Insurance

I just can't believe what I am reading... You are so right, being a diabetic is already hard enough, but having no insurance is not admissible in our society. That makes me think about how bad health system really works.

I feel so sorry for you guys, i met my american wife online and met her in louisiana and bought her back to the UK with me, over here everything is free. every month i get about 3 months worth of insulin which i have taken for granted so i can eat what i want. Your healthcare sucks, i always wanted to move to USA with my wife, but if i have to pay for stuff which should be free i wont bother. you should immigrate to england

Response from: Gloria

yeah, i truly envy countries with free healthcare.

I am the owner of a new diabetic supply company in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Most of our patient are un-insured and join our program DiabeticOne For All were they receive a free meter, free lancets (100) and strips (50) for only $25. We mail the supplies to you at no cost. My son is a diabetic and we know very well how expensive this chronic decease is.

I am 50 years old and we lost our insurance in November as my husband lost his job. Without him working we have no money for the cobra insurance. I have diabetic and take 4 shots a day. I also am on o2 and have a pacemaker. i get my pills for $4.00 each from Walmart (this has saved my life) but am doing without my shots and strips as I can not afford them. I am on disability and have another year to go before I qualify for medicare (everyone must wait 2 years before you can get it). With my small ssd ck and we run a trailer park for free rent.. this cuts us off of getting assisance of any kind. We are in the group that gets too much for assistance and not enough to live on. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Right now my levels are running between 150 and 250. any help would be appreciated. thank you

My husband has diabetes, and we have no health care. He gets sick and well we just wait and hope he gets though it. Our daughter just turned 2 and I am afraid he won't be around for her, and of course it will be sooner than later because of the lack of health care in California. Does anyone care? Not anyone that can make a difference. No one can help this is such a horrible feeling.

This is why people need to get out and vote. All these people making fun of Obama. Obama offers a national health care program. McSame says it needs to remain the same. John McCain says we have the best health care system in the world? Thats because he has free medical because he is the senator of Arizona. Everyone deserves free health care and all they have to do is quit sending our money oversees and start worrying about our own. Don't vote for a Republican this election and see how we get socialized medical care! We pay the same taxes as they do in Canada. They have free medical. Wake up America! Vote Obama

The health care situation in country is very sad these days. My grandma has diabetes and for a long time she did not qualify for insurance. I began to work for Ameriplan and they offer a discount diabetic program. She was able to save about 50%. Not sure if this will help anyone but here is the website http://www.usdiabeticplan.com
