If you have ever been unable to afford your diabetes supplies, or if you hypothetically ever were unable to afford your diabetes supplies, how comfortable would you feel telling your doctor?

I am comfortable telling my doctor anything. If I weren’t, I would seek a different doctor. I don’t see how a doctor can provide someone the optimal health benefit if (s)he is not completely informed.
My cost i s minimal since I use Walmart Novolin and syringes.. But I asked my Doctor to wright a prescription so I could avoid the 6% sales tax !!!
Even being on a pump & Medicare I can’t afford my insulin. That fixed income thing. My share of the Novolog co-pay is 3/4 of my check.
There was a time when I worked and ran out of insulin couldn’t get to the city for two more days and he gave me a bottle of insulin no charge I didn’t have insurance at that time
