Bye Bye Insurance. Effective June 1, 2008 I will no longer be covered for my pump supplies, just my insulin. I will still get my insulin though, I don’t understand insurance. My medication is covered, but the supplies to the machine I need for the medication I don’t get covered. What would I do without my back up company I have been using for my diabetic supplies that I have had to order on the side because my insurance tells me how often I need to test a day. I started out volunteering and helping them out with local events and fundraisers and now do more stuff with them.

For the past several months I have been saying to myself, I am so lucky to have insurance because I don’t know what I would do if I was in the situation that the people calling in, were in…. ordering their supplies with their own money. I really don’t know what I am going to do. Graduating college isn’t as hyped up as it seems. You don’t get your degree in the mail for like 2 months, you get hit with $100,000 student loans, your parents’ insurance coverage plans drop you, and you have to work full time to try and cover those bills. Lucky to have graduated huh?

Any suggestions, help, comments, been through it already?
