ONLY a Doctor can help you with this. You should get an appointment set up so that you can go through testing to make sure that you don't have the developing stages of diabetes yourself. Maybe this site will answer more questions for you though.\n\nhttp://www.diabetes.com/

All anyone can do for you my friend is encourage you to see a doctor and pray for you - which I shall do.  If you don't have the money for medical care please visit social services as they may be able to help you financially.

first step... get insurance. you need it. exspecialy after that last question. Then talk to your doctor about medication. until the insurance comes through, see if he has any smaples that you could try. tell him that you dont have insurance, but that you feel like you need something to help you out. Tell him that you dont want to spend money on something that is not going to work for you, so you would like to try a sample product.

depends on where you go.  If you have no insurance or have low income, there are probably free or subsidized clinics you can get to.  Don't know your location, so you can do a search on the web.  Just be sure to get medical attention as soon as you can - it will be quicker to take care of now then to wait and let complications set in.

Your medication, if for diabetes, should have been written with refills on it- check to see if you have any refills- if not, call your dr's office and see if they will give you a refill without a new visit.\n\nCheck with you local government agencies as well, for medical assistance, you may qualify for some help with medical care.

You may want to go to a teaching school, if there is one in the area.  If you don't have the money or insurance, you may wind up getting them free!!

All the major drug companies in the US offer free or discounted medication for those who are uninsured and cannot afford their prescriptions. Visit www.needymeds.com for more information. It is a free service, and they're pretty good about keeping all the information up-to-date.\n\nAlso, be sure to ask your doctor for free samples, and explain to him that you cannot afford some of your prescriptions. My doctors usually give me a 1-3 month supply at a time.

I took medication for awhile but they didn't work at all.  My doctor ended up putting me on insulin, even though I'm a type 2 and technically shouldn't be insulin-dependent.  It's what you might need to do.

Hello,\n\nI've been diabetic for 33 years and this is not a problem that only you suffer from. Most all diabetics crave sweets, it's all in the way you handle it. I'm don't know if you take shots or pills. I take shots and when and when a special moment occurs where I eat a super sweet something I take extra insulin. TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR FIRST!!! Here's an example: I like ice cream cakes and if you look on the label you will see carbohydrates and a number like maybe 40 grams. My doctor explained to me that for every extra 10 grams of carbs I should take 1 unit of insulin. This technique is called a sliding scale and only your doctor should provide you with your own personal sliding scale. Also try the sugar free foods. Russel Stover's has a real good chocolate sugar free assortment. Jello Gelatin is good and alot of bakeries also make sugar free desserts, cakes, pies, etc. \n\nAs for you HA1C...don't forget that anything can cause your blood sugar to rise, such as cold medicine, stress, excitement, infections, depression, and many other things as well. Just one day of serious munching can affect your HA1C. This test reflects back to 6 weeks ago. There is available in pharmaceys a at home HA1C test, they're kind of expensive. Something else you might try and it can help you get a better idea of your overall control is to add all your before breakfast blood sugar test for 7 days and then devide that number by 7. This will give you a overall average for a week. Do the same for your lunch testing, evening testing, etc. \n\nI know that dealing with this disease can be frustrating and it seems so unfair that we have it. Don't give up, if I can make it 33 year with this disease so can you! It's OK to cry and get mad and afterwards hold your head up high and be proud of who you are - diabetis does not have to have control of you.\n\nGood Luck

Hmmmm...  this could be a little tricky with out insurance....BUT...  there could be ways on working around that..   there are free hospitals (if living in the states) suggestion is to try one of them.....  the wait maybe insanely long but you would not need the insurance.....  just bring a very good and long book to read..  also you can try to contact any hospitals administrator and let them know you need medical attention but can not afford it..   ask if they can help..  some times they have programs to help people without insurance..  really ask about this one..   they even might be able to work out some kind of payment plan or they just might pick up the tab altogether..  in any situation for just about anything sometimes the easiest thing to do is to ask for help...   someone somewhere will always help..  if you can not find help in your area...  look elsewhere..  but keep trying..  take care..

What are you trying to ask?\nYes. You will die without insulin.
