Hope you're feeling better, my daughter has been a type 1 diabetic since age 6, she just turned 24 last week.
You may want to contact your insurance company about your insulin and test strips, sometimes they prefer a certain type of insulin or meter and you'll have a lower copay. Once after changing insurance companies, the co pay for my daughters meds shot up to 120.00 out of pocket per month, so I called the insurance company and they said if I switched to a different insulin and meter, my co pays would be 30.00 a month! I talked to the doctor and she wrote up new prescriptions (and saved me 90.00 a month). Maybe your insurance company works the same way? No harm in checking into it? Good luck!
