Tessa asked:


I’m asking because my boyfriend is recently diagnosed with Diabetes. The past two months, with all the Metformin, Avandia, Lantus, Novalog, needles, gauze, alcohol, meter strips, etc. We are struggling. His health insurance only provides $1200 gross towards prescriptions PER YEAR. We are very quickly coming up on that $1200 and it hasn’t even been 6 months. I’m curious to know, are we doing something wrong? Why can’t we afford this treatment? It seems like a good many Americans have Diabetes, how does everyone else afford the many prescriptions? We’re freaking out, because we don’t have the money for rent, gas, food, etc. We feel like the Diabetes treatment has to come first, but all these co-pays for specialists and prescriptions has drained our wallets, we can’t buy food, nevermind entertainment. How does everyone else afford this?! What can we do?

I have had the weirdest sweet taste in my mouth hours after I have eaten anything, whether sweet or not. Could this be a sign of having gotten diabetes through my pregnancy?
I have an excessive dry mouth more noticeable at night, frequent urination, daily nausea, especially after a nap, fatigue and think I may have a yeast infection again.

I really want to know the amount of sugar (consumed daily) that someone needs to get Type II Diabetes. I know the recommended is no more than 30g a day, but say a person goes to 60g a day, would he get diabetes?

I have called several insurance companies and cannot obtain coverage because of existing diabetes condition. Similar to assigned risk for an auto driver, is there such full, major coverage available? How do I go about finding the coverage? I have recently retired and my Cobra will expire soon. Is there any extension of Cobra available in California?

I am worried I may have diabetes. I went to the doctor’s office recently to check my blood sugar and my blood sugar number came out as 93.

I also had not eaten anything in hours, so I am worried that it could have dropped.
