[Diabetes-Talk] pumpless

[Jeanette Kutash]

Bridgit, if she was signed up as an adult disabled child she can get it
under her mother's Medicare. I only know this because when I was a child my
father died and my family was advised to sign me up as an adult disabled
child before I turned 18 so that my family and I would not lose my social
security disability. I did eventually land on my feet, having a good working
career and earned my own social security, but I know Dar is right. The real
question is, is she getting the support she needs so she can work if a job
becomes possible for her, and can she get on her own disability. But that is
for the rehab people to help her sort out.

Dar,

What do you mean your "mother's Medicare" didn't go through? It has to be
your own Medicare

Also, it's insulin pen(P E N) not pin (P I N) smile.
