The bruise left after removing my 15 day glucose monitor.
I'm a type 1 diabetic. Have been for 26 years in the states. It's very expensive and very painful for me to simply exist.
My insurance: $700/mo
Diabetic supplies: $500/3mo
Insulin: $30p/3mo
Doctor visit copay: $75/visit which is required every 6 months.
Travel: doc is a specialist which is 2 hours away. I have to take an entire day off work to travel just to see him.
My insulin costs were so high once that I went a week without my insulin. It was rent and food for my kids or my insulin..
I'm tired y'all.
Note: this is not the "recommended" site location for a monitor but I have pre-approval from my specialist.
