Maybe you have just been diagnosed with Type II Diabetes and you are in your forties or maybe you have had Diabetes since you were young and recently became eligible for Medicare.
Either way there are many things you need to keep your blood glucose under control and to keep yourself looking and feeling your best.
Several discount web sites offer diabetic supplies at large discounts.
Most of the websites will take your insurance as partial or full payment.
They offer everything a diabetic could need.
They offer the obvious things like blood glucose monitors, test strips for the monitors and lancets.
Then there are the less obvious, but things you made need or want, like diabetic socks, support stockings, Unna boot dressings, assorted types of shoes and even foot creams.
All ordered from the comfort of your home and delivered right to your door.
If you are eligible for Medicare you have the option of mail order supply also.
These companies usually have no upfront costs, free shipping, guarantees, emailed reminders to renew, along with other freebees.
These companies offer everything you would need to keep your blood sugar under control, glucose meters, test strips, Insulin supplies, Insulin pumps, A1c test kits and even the insulin itself.
You will need prescriptions for certain items like the insulin or syringes.
These companies will take care of all the Medicare and insurance paperwork.
They, like the other companies, deliver the supplies right to your door.
Your other option for getting diabetes supplies, whether or not you have Medicare, is from your local privately owned or chain pharmacy.
These carry all the same equipment as the mail order places and some people find it easier to go to these.
The cost here can be more than the mail order places and they do not, by law, have to take Medicare as payment for supplies.
If you have a different insurance, not Medicare, they can be a good option.
