I know the feeling. Um where abouts do you live? i am sure there are other insurance places that could help you.

A friend of mine when I was in school had to give himself multiple insulin injections per day but never discussed his diet except explaining,if offered a beer,that he abstained because one beer would be extremely likely to kill him, Nevertheless he aced college and now he's happy,successful,and married with a bunch of humanlings. Me mum was diagnosed with diabetes in her 60's and,because she always loved chocolate,ever since her diagnosis I've been on a quest for the best sugar-free chocolate available. I'm not diabetic but I always try them first before I even give her one-if it sucks it isn't even offered. Only sugar free things I would happily eat are acceptable-it's gotten to the point that she gets excited by the "treats" I bring when I visit her. One problem,though-although I would quite gladly scarf them down tastewise I have to keep declining her offers to eat some myself because they are quite expensive compared to the sugar kind and,although I'll spend that much on mum I want her to get it all.. Suggestions-all sugar free and yummy. I buy these in the Southern New Jersey/suburban Philadelphia,Pennsylvania area (United States) so I'm not sure of how easy the smaller companies products are to obtain in your area-you'll need to check online. Chocolate chip cookies worthy of the name are available from Hurrays Sugar Free Cookies. They have many flavors,all good-but the Chocolate chip rules. Russel Stover is an excellent source for sugar free goodness too-their peanut butter cup is awesome! If you like carbonated beverages and the cola flavors don't make you happy try the sugar free orange and ginger ale-I,personally,prefer them to the cola flavors. Oh,beware of store brand sugar free beverages-they're worth a try coz they cost significantly less but try before you buy a case of it! I'll message you with more asap

Russle stovers is a good one, I love their chocolates but at times they can get expensive and I cant always afford a treat like it. I enjoy no-name sodas more than anything, not just because of the low price but because they have more flavors than store-named brands. With me being diabetic in elementry school it was even harder for my diet because its school and well being a teenager its not exactly simple for ones mind to take control, well not mine at least. I try a lot of sugar free items, where I used to work if a new sugar free energy drink came into stock Id grab one to try out. Not that those are overly good for you in large amounts..... which I drank.

I'm 23 and have been diabetic for just over 20 years now, so I definitely understand your struggles, but at the same time, it can be easier for you!

well we do have another insurance, but it doesn't cut the cost down that much.

Which one is that? I am on Fare Pharmacare .. it helps but it doesnt always cover everything like my insulin :C

I think it's like Athena or something like that.

never heard of that one. but there are so many things out there.

Yup. So how have you been?

Ive been alright. Been job hunting and what not. Also reading up about more diabetes things and weight loss. :) I got 2 diabetic books in the mail from Amazon that I ordered so its gonna be nifty to read them.

Well thats good, I've been job hunting also. :P

its hard where I live, my mom just lost her job this morning, and all because the people she worked with didnt want to work with her at all. :C I feel for my mommy, and i hope she gets a job soon, she is a hard worker and its not that terrible to work with her, ive done it for 6 years and even if i am her daughter :/ -sigh- people in the world today can suck butt . I hopes you find a job.

Aww I'm really sorry to hear that. :(

Its looking better, she still has money coming in because of a work injury that happened. i have plenty of interviews happening but nothing promising just yet.

I have an interview for chickfila tomorrow, hopefully I'll get hired. I wish you luck in all your interviews!

I have a small part time job starting saturday!!!! yay its only 3 days a week but it will help with me getting my diabetes better.

That's great!

Most of my pay cheques are gonna pay off my credit debit and what not, bills and shit... ugh i hate being in debt :C but yay, i gots some work.

Atleast now you have a chance to get out of debt and buy some stuff her and there
