Help for Children with Diabetes
The past few years, I’ve watched my own monthly diabetes-related expenses increase in orders of magnitude. Increasing insurance premiums, deductible increases, and all but two of my expense items (insulin and strips) now apply to my deductible, have definitely made a dent in my budget.
With those worries, imagining having to worry about those things for one of my children would be far worse. And, unfortunately, millions of parents do worry, and have difficulties dealing with these ever-increasing expenses to care for their children with diabetes.
There is help for parents who have difficulty with their children’s diabetes expenses, ipump.org. ipump.org offers help for children who need help meeting the costs of their diabetes care. This includes insulin, oral medications, durable goods, and physician visits.
Please visit ipump.org, and consider helping. Their motto is true. “Insulin may not be a cure but without it a child with diabetes will die.”

Jonathan,
Some very good points indeed, I definitely agree.
I’ve had Type-1 for 15+ years and have definitely seen the prices go way up, it’s mind-blowing sometimes. We really need to look to the long term.
