There are several companies on the Internet who will help diabetics get a free glucose monitor as well as test strips or pumps, syringes and other supplies needed to control the daily blood sugar level. These companies work directly with insurance companies and will ship any item free of charge directly to the consumer.
One of the most important items needed by diabetics is the glucose meter and the test strips that are used with it. There are several different kinds of blood testing meters. They range from the basic digital model to the talking model with a built in speaker and 6 second results. There’s a model that fits almost everyone’s needs.
Several companies manufacture these meters and some of them directly offer certain monitors to diabetics free of charge, as long as there is insurance coverage. The companies that offer free glucose monitors also service people who have Medicare coverage.
There are pharmacies that also offer meters as long as you purchase test strips from them.
These pharmacies require insurance or Medicare coverage as well. Diabetics with no insurance coverage can apply to the Financial Hardship Assistance Program and can get a glucose tester using that program.
New technology is emerging that is helping the health care industry identify all the items necessary for a diabetic to live a rewarding life, without worrying about how to pay for it. Then, if you have the chance to get a devise that is absolutely necessary to you without any cost, what are you waiting for?
