Question : I was just diagnosed with diabetes. Can anyone tell me where to go for help with diabetic supplies cheaply?
I was just diagnosed & put on GLUCOPHAGE. My hemaglobin A1C was 12.1 & averaged 317 over the past 3 months. I have no medical insurance & was hoping to get medical supplies as cheap as possible. I see the diabetic nurse for the first time next week (Wednesday). Thank you

Wal-mart generally has everything at a reasonable price.
Good luck pal there is nothing cheap about diabetes everybody has prices jacked up to get into your pocket. However that being said sometimes the Dr. has samples of medicines that he can provide and your diabetic nurse is a good source for meters, test strips, and lansettes. As for being newly dianosed you can turn diabetes around and get off of all meds and supplys, here are two words that you should have ingrained in you mind. DIET & EXERCIZE so important, it will be a lifetime commentment but diabetes II or adult onset diabetes or whatever they are calling it these days can be turned around with these two lifestyle changes. Educate yourself about your diesese. There are several good websighs WebMD, Veriatus (sp) The Joylisn clinic, and I am sure that there are more. Good luck I know this is more then you ask but hope you find it useful
