About I Hope you don't need this assistance, On Sat May 28 2005

TL> medicao insurance, no prescription coverage, and not much money.
TL> So....diabetes meds are a REAL problem.


Here in my part of Canada the cost of needles is provided under our
medicare, but not insulin or test strips.

TL> that's when I join the ranks of seniors who get to choose between
TL> medication and shelter/food.

We have Pharmacare and it is indexed according to ones income, but it is
still a toss up food/shelter or medications for seniors.

Hope this helps.  Keep us posted.

We are a fine board trying to make it better.
