 Rena's information on Diabetes. I have personal experience with diabetes because my grandmother has had diabetes for as long as I can remember. I can remember giving her insulin shots and watching her check her blood. This topic is very dear to me because of that reason. The following website is a great example of the kind of information I wish my grandmother had had a long time ago when she found out she was diabetic. It's not really a website about diabetes and it doesn'y give much information on how to treat diabetes, however, it is very useful. It is a website that helps people get very costly diabetic supplies for little or no cost at all. People wishing to apply for this help need to fill in the information boxes. submit that information, and then a representative will work with them to get them their supplies relatively cheaply. Many people do not understand the cost of diabetic medical supplies. This website is here to help. It especially works hard for the elderly who mght not have health insurance like so many people these days. Please feel free to inform anyone you know about the following website.
