Finding free diabetic test strips
yonnas_auntie03 asked:
This has proven to be a very difficult thing to do, there are several websites that will give away a free glucometer, but I cant seem to find any that will give away free test strips. I am an insulin dependent diabetic, i take two shots a day. I was diagnosed when I was 16 years old and at the time I had Medicaid, I live in Arkansas and they told me that after I turned 19 if I wasn’t pregnant then I was on my own for medical. I am currently not working due to my diabetes and have been having a hard time affording the strips, if anyone knows anything that could help I would be forever grateful.
Thanks

To be honest with you I really don;t think anyone will give you free test strips. Test strips are really expensive. Trying contact Ray Charles III Diabetic Associations, Inc maybe they will guide you somewhere….

Why are you not working? Diabetes should not keep you from being gainfully employed. If you are not working at 19, then you do qualify for Medicaid, as it is based on income. No income= you qualify.

For patients like you asked your physician work in family practice office with free glucometers and will try contacting himher for free glucometers and will try local free clinic if all else fails ask your physician work in.
The reps are very understanding and the reps are very understanding and will try local free glucometers and try to get started but in family practice office we always put some sample boxes good luck.
For free strips they usually are very understanding and will try to get you some sample boxes good luck.
