Diabetes can be expensive. I have had my insurance reduced quite a bit as of 
late, But have good coverage, with a heavy expense out of my pocket each 
month to pay for it. Even with good coverage, It staggers me, the cost of 
diabetic supplies. I have gone to reusing needles, Nurses say I can't, but 
Doc says go ahead. I have to buy my insulin in 3 month quantities, which is 
still expensive out of pocket, but compared to the price if I had to pay for 
it all, it is decent. I am on two types of insulin. Insurance covers the 
major portion, but each one runs over 1000.00 for a 3 month supply. This does 
not count test strips, syringes etc. If I had no insurance, I could not 
afford it. Even Now, the cost to maintain my insurance is my biggest expense, 
even more than my mortgage etc. But still... Keep Obamacare away from me.

You are absolutely right, It is a gift from God, though so is having health 
problems, it does wonders for keeping You humble and thankful.
