You may aslo benefit from adopting a low carb diet, which will help minimise your need for meds.

Exercise and normalising weight (in case you are overweight) will also reduce insulin resistance and reduce need for meds.

A good book about using low carb for controlling diabetes (and potentially reducing medications requirements) is "Diabetes Solutions" by Dr. Richard Bernstein.

Please also discuss with your Dr. your insurance dilema and see if he/she can prescribe some alternative (cheaper) meds.

See if the pharmacist can help you pick a different kind of medication based on what you can afford. If you do not mind saying, will you be able to get on Medicaid or Medicare for your health/prescription coverage?
