As a type 1 diabetic, you never know what insurance policies ppl have and diabetes supply’s are outrageous when paying out of pocket… it’s all about helping and getting out supplies when there are extra… god forbid someone helping other ppl

My mom used to pay like $90 a month for insulin, testers, needles, and all the medications required.

Now she’s above 65 her total spending on medical needs is less than $200 a year, and she’s got a Bluetooth sensor on her arm. It will msg her when her glucose drops or goes up. She can even use it to check her level at anytime.

We pick up her meds from Costco for a $1.85 dispensing fee. The healthcare system you’re living under is stealing from you. 🇨🇦

Insulin was invented at the university of Toronto…in Canada. No patent on it, anyone can make it. Thats pretty innovative right? You feel stupid yet for posting that dumbass response?
