Do you need help paying for your diabetic supplies?
WHERE CAN I FIND LOW COST DIABETIC SUPPLIES?
Abbott Diabetes Care Patient Assistance Program
This program assists financially disadvantaged individuals who meet certain income criteria. The Abbott Diabetes Care application can be found at www.rxassist.org/providers/documents/AbbottDiabetesCare_000.pdf or call 866-224-8887.
Bayer
Bayer offers a one time startup/upgrade (from other Bayer meters) kit–CONTOUR® Blood Glucose Monitoring System that includes a small number of strips. Advocates consider the price of the strips to be expensive for individuals without health insurance.
IPump.org, Inc. (www.ipump.org) offers limited reimbursement for diabetes medications, supplies, and insulin to persons who qualify under their “ERMA” (Emergency Request for Medical Assistance) program.

Always check with your provider, if not then see if there’s a community clinic, and then see what the state can cover.
