Help for Uninsured or Underinsured

While diabetes is a manageable condition, the tools needed to manage it aren't always cost effective. Health insurance is still the best way to get the supplies you need, but insurance itself is a slippery animal — hard to obtain, often just as hard to hold on to.

The costs for treating diabetes for people who are uninsured or underinsured is an equally difficult thing to so. In 46 states, state-regulated health insurance plans are required to cover diabetes supplies, services, and medications.

However, there is a variety of governmental and non-governmental agencies that can help cover medical expenses for those who are uninsured or underinsured.
