Thread Name: BS: Controlling Diabetes
Subject: RE: BS: Controling Diabetes
I found out last night that they have about thirty or forty test strips left from their prescription, and it sounds like they would rather pay for more strips rather than go to the doctor. So when they get back they'll start testing again to see if they've got things under control.

It's definitely a shameful thing that we don't value life enough in this country to make sure that everyone has access to good medical care. This person and I are both doing what we can to try to make it happen. Unfortunately, even if the proposed health care reform gets implemented in this country, it won't help those who currently don't have insurance until sometime in 2013 at the earliest. I'm not happy about that.
