Type 1 Diabetic Needs Assistance
I am an insulin dependent type 1 diabetic, diagnosed a year and a half ago. I have a wife and three precious boys, 4, 2, and 1. My wife was pregnant with our third when we found out I was a diabetic. I am on a wonderful, but costly pump therapy (omnipod.) In 2009 we were able to work with a company called American Diabetes Wholesale who accepted what the insurance paid for my supplies, as well as paid our deductible. We received a phone call from them last week however, saying that they would no longer help us. They didn’t make enough money from our case. This news was devastating for us because we’re already doing the paycheck to paycheck thing. We will now need to come up with about 500 dollars a month…we don’t have it. We’re trying to find some other form of assistance; maybe you can help. I’ve been an insurance salesman for thirteen years, but that gets me no break in cost. We pay 733.00 monthly in premiums, and have a 3000 deductible. I don’t know what else to say except that we’re simple people with a quiet life, just trying to make ends meet while living daily with this chronic, life altering, disease. Thank you for any assistance you can offer.
