Free Diabetic Supplies

To manage diabetes, a person needs certain supplies and medications.  If a person is on Medicare they do not usually have complete coverage, therefore, they have to pay for some things themselves or go without.

There is some help available now through GovernmentDiabetes.org.  The help is available to Medicare recipients and covers job training, phone bill assistance, financial assistance, grants, loans and scholarships.  There is also money available for small businesses owned or started by individuals with diabetes.  Many of these loans and grants are not used because people don’t know about them.

If a diabetic has a disability, there are other funds available for home repairs that are considered essential for day-to-day living, such as plumbing repair or replacement, repairing leaky roofs and other similar repairs.  There are billions of dollars available, and even if a person was considered a credit risk in the past due to their disability and/or limited income, this is no longer the case.  The dream of starting and owning a business or getting job training and going to work can become a reality due to these funds.  There are also funds to help diabetics who are considered economically disadvantaged.  These programs include energy assistance, legal aid, prescription coverage and home repair. 

To have an organization that helps disseminate information to and for diabetics is a big step forward.  This should help people with diabetes with many facets of life and take some of the burdens off them by giving them information that connects them to supplies, products and legal & financial services that are so vital to all of us, but have been out of reach to many individuals with diabetes until now. 

This information and assistance for individuals with diabetes will make a difference for many, especially now that it is coming out in the open.
