[Diabetes-Talk] cost

That's one of those reasons, I own my own practice. Try telling eh
government agency that you need them.first of all they want you  to be
homeless or pennyless before they wil help you out.that's why I wont bother
with them.i will just focus on a lower cost alternative for  the next few
years.insulin I know  that companies like novaradis  give discounts  if you
cant afford the insulin or your in the situation that  I am in with high
insurance costs.once I can figure a solution to the  dexcom problem then I
can start shopping around for lower cost coverage that I can afford in the
200 to $300 range and not in the $600 to $1200 which I have been facing in
the past five years of being on insulin and all that  sort of stuff.
