Assistance/Questions

You may need to direct a question to a diabetes educator or another person with diabetes. Please use our guest book for this purpose and comments.


Diabetes can be an expensive disease, especially if multiple medications are needed to control the blood sugar and high blood pressure or cholesterol levels. Some drug manufacturers have programs to help those in financial need. Assistance may be obtained by first asking your doctor for a prescription and a copy of the form supplied to him by the drug company.
