What can I do?

by Gerald28, Nov 24, 2008 06:46AM

I'm 28 and a type 1 diabetic, are there any programs out there that can help me? My employeer doesn't offers health insurance and I'm scared that the lack of insulin will hender me soon. Is there any real help for type 1 diabetics?

Not taking insulin is going to hurt you and end up killing you. Talk to your physician about your situation or talk to a doc in the emergency room. You will not last long without insulin.

I've been diabetic 17 years. I can't go a day without it or I'm in the hospital.
