I am a diabetic that is currently using an insulin pump for my diabetes management and I have insurance but the insurance that I have does not cover the extra costs with the pump supplies, which is huge. I am not the only one with this issue I am sure. My fear is that I will have to stop using the insulin pump because of the cost which will take away the one thing that has made me feel like a normal person again or as close to as can be. I feel that there are companies making huge amounts of money from the people that have diabetes whom have no other choice but to make them richer because if they don’t they die, there just seems to be an imbalance there. So please if there is any one out there that might have any ideas that can be done with this unfair imbalance of the american way.

Im currently looking for a new company to process applications through medicare and send out diabetic supplies. I am only wanting $40.00 per approved and processed application. I possess a data base of over 2000 brand new complete leads.My old company was not paying me for my hard work so I pretty much kept my data. I have applications ready to be processed and customers waiting for meters and supplies. Does anyone know of an up and coming supply company or a company in general looking for new customers?

I have recently switched insulin pumps, from Disetronic H-Tron to Deltec Cozmo and have a lot of unopened pump supplies that will not work with my new pump. Any ideas on what I can do with them?
My grandma has diabetes and it always freaks me out to see her prick her finger. So I was thinking of getting her a meter that doesn’t require her to prick her finger.
I saw Nick Jonas on a commercial for one and I was wondering how exactly that works and what brand it is.
Please just write as little information as possible because, knowing me, I will easily get confused.
With the rising expenses of health care, increasing number of patients are resorting to home medical supplies and equipments to lead a comfortable life at home, instead of footing huge bills of the nursing homes. In addition to the wheel chairs, today’s home medical supplies cover an entire range of sophisticated medical equipments like various types of Diabetic Supply Programs, Medical Alarms, Blood Pressure Monitors, Oxygen Concentrators, Spirometers, Pulse Oximeters or autoclaves.
Now, buying medical equipments from the online stores has its definite advantages. You get a cheaper deal and moreover you can make the deal right from the comfort of your own home without taking the trouble to visit the local market.
Despite the conveniences, the online medical supplies stores are not above controversy; FDA has made a list of around 50 companies that have been reported to indulge in illegal practices with regard to the medical supplies. Now FDA is collaborating with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to stop illegal dealings in the online medical supplies.
In addition to the initiatives of the FDA, there are few things you can do to become a wise customer of online medical supplies.
While buying any medial product, make sure that the equipment meets the medical standards stipulated by FDA. How do you do that? Simply read the labels. If the text in the label is written in other language than English, or measurements are given in metric units that clearly means that the product is intended for sale outside the USA. So it is clear that product does not meet U.S. standards and there are chances of product’s being of inferior quality.
An authentic online store will definitely provide contact details including e-mail ID, address and phone number of USA. Before making any commitment, make query, whether the product has the FDA’s approval for sale in the United States. If the seller is genuine, he will surely make reply.
Do not get lured by the tall claims of cure-all effects of any medical product; remember this old adage that empty vessel sounds much. So take this little trouble of asking your health care professional to inform about this product and seek his advice before the final purchase.
Also go through the FDA’s Buying Online Homepage at http://www.fda.gov/oc/buyonline/ It will give you lot of helpful information about do’s and don’ts of buying medical products from the online medical supplies companies.
Last of all, don’t provide personal financial information such as credit card numbers unless you are sure the site will protect your privacy. The website address of a secure online store should read Https:// (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer, or HTTP over SSL). This is a web protocol that ensures that the information are encrypted.
I know that it costs pennies to make diabetes strips. But, I don’t want to use cheap chinese meters and I have to pay out of pocket. Are there any good quality meters and are inexpensive. I heard that the Keynote is a good one and is less painful? Does any have any experience with this meter.
