I am trying to save on a trip to the doctor. Is there a way to recieve
meds for Type 2 Diabetes. And is there some kind of vitamins that
produce the same result? I’ve been taking fish oil daily.
Check to see if your local health department offers a free clinic. If not, call the dr that you have gone to in the past and explain that you do not have insurance and if they might have a discount fee for people without insurance, if they don’t ask them if they could recommend somewhere that you could get medical care for your diabetes at a low/no cost – they may know the locations in your area. Walmart has both of these drugs for $4 for a one month supply, and many other stores are also offering $4 prescriptions – check with your local pharmacist.
I know of one website that doesn’t require a prescription, but I couldn’t find those particular drugs. I’ll still give you the link in case you find a comparable substitute. You don’t need insurance to go to the doctor, of course. Wal-Mart sells very cheap prescriptions, like $4 per prescription. So, you might spend a lot on the doctor visit ($150-200), but you could save on the medication. Good luck to you. I hope you find a way to avoid the doctor.

As someone with over eight years in the medical field(emergency medicine) the money you save will be great in going towards the renal dialysis, seeing eye dog, artifical limbs, wheel chair….. getting the picture? Diabetes is not something to mess around with you can live a long and amputation free life if you take care of yourself. Contact the health dept in the city ypou live in to see if there are programs for people who are income challenged. TYou may be able to get the help you need at a reasonable rate or payment plan.

For me this is such a timely question. I have done many papers in college and written to many congressmen about this situation (people with diabetes not affording health care). I have always used my aunt 72 last month as an example of how economically it is more beneficial to provide medication to someone on an ongoing basis vs. the greater health risks that they have. On a day when I myself was struggling with a bizarrely out of range BSL I was called by my mom to find out that my aunt had passed away. She had been in and out of nursing homes for the last ten years because she never took care of her diabetes.
You must do whatever you need to do, find local clinics that see people for minimum or free. Call drug companies asking how to get a grant for your medications. Call the local ADA.

Try the county hospital. They have programs for people without insurance.
