Diagnosed with diabetes in late June. Middle of July, got my glucometer and testing supplies from Global Pharmaceutical. In August, they called to tell me they will no longer be carrying supplies. I have called every other Durable Medical Equipment supplier here in town that's in my network. I have been told that NONE of them carry the supplies for the particular glucometer I have. Insurance will only pay for one glucometer every two years. I've had this one two months, can't get testing supplies for it here in town and can't afford to buy myself a new one. Yep, sounds about right!In a really short time, I had several friends offering suggestions and advice. One friend told me she had four, brand new, still-in-the-box-never-used machines (all different brands) I could choose from. I would just need to decide which I wanted that I could find the strips for. Another blessing!
Yesterday, I called every diabetes test supplier in my area again and this time got a different answer at one of the suppliers. They DO carry the test strips I need after all! So, I won't need my friend's help... this time. But just knowing it was there was a wonderful relief!
