Bible Verse of the Day- Philippians 2:14-16“Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.”
- Philippians 2:14-16
The cost really is astronomical even if one does not believe these numbers.
Just look at price of caveman diabetic test strips.
sixty cents to a dollar a strip and one really should use 4 to 6 strips a day if you are properly monitoring food consumtion and body hit. Thats 6 x 31 = 186 bucks a month and we are not even looking at cost of meds on top of this and any other costs -= Doctors, CDE, Dietition, etc.
And here because Medicare is struggling hard and long they are attempting to cut their costs by dropping to one strip a day for type 2 and 3 for type1 or on insulin.
Its time to divert the excess costs killing us all into pratical cures, cost effective tools and pratcical management as well as medical before costs consume us all. The nuclear energy model of runaway unpratical cost management is unworkable in Diabetes medicine.
