I appreciate the kind words. These things have a way of working themselves out, usually. Praying that's the case.
Same boat man. My niece is type 1, got it at 3mos. Old. They were so excited when priced dropped. Their whole family is based, voted Trump.
She's 14 and idk what theyre gonna do. Her sister had Lukemia, fought and barely survived that (docs. Had written her off, had to go through experimental surgery, etc).
The family doesnt have this kind of money. I guess we'll start talking with churches and family, see who can contribute to keep her alive until it settles down.
Will pray for you.
Do you have friends in Canada or Mexico? (Or India, Europe, AU etc ... but be careful, they use different concentrations over there). That's one way, if they can mail it.
Also, Wal-Mart has insulin for cash $24 / vial. Novolin R, N; not the fancy lyspro fast-acting analogs, but with some discipline it works. I've been on that for years after developing allergies to the analogs. The companies often have programs to sell them cheaper if you're uninsured or poor (i.e., to keep you from being sympathetic in the nightly newscast). Their policies are geared to steal money from insurance companies, and give an out to people. Definitely worth a call.
Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely pass them on. I've been wondering about that kind of thing myself, we're self-pay, so there can be a lot of perks for not having insurance.
?. Long term, follow the Faustman Lab by Dr Denise Faustman in Boston. I believe she truly found the way to reverse type 1. I've been Type 1 for 30 years, so that's not casual hype. Would've been a top medical story last year except for covid. Type 1's also get hit dangerously hard by covid, write me if it comes up.
No friends in Canada or Mexico, though I will save your comment and see if this is a viable solution for us. Thank you, fren!

I'll return the prayers, happily. I hope they're answered soon. You and your family stay strong!
