It is great you ment...Bob thanks for the comments! It is great you mentioned World Diabetes Day, I was just about to start posting about that on here and on Facebook. =D I know there is no real comparison of birth control pills and Diabetes, I was just making a point of how it is covered and yet so many people cannot even afford their diabetic supplies. It is horrible to think of children or anyone anywhere dying from Diabetes, a treatable disease you can live with.

Hardly equivalent to Diabetes supplies. Birth control would prevent lives all together, before conception...<br />It would be nice though for it to cover maybe 50/50 of the basics. ie syringes and vials of insulin.<br />Think about 3rd world countries, that have children, living with a disease that there is no cure for. these children are dying a slow and pain full death over the course of about 4 weeks. their bodies starving themselves from the inside. Diabetes can Kill. <br /><br />The basics:<br />http://www.idf.org/insulin-diabetes-supplies/individual-country-assessments<br />http://www.idf.org/insulin-diabetes-supplies/emergencies-and-disasters<br /><br /><br />If you want to get technical:<br />http://www.idf.org/national-study-diabetes-impact-and-care-china <br />http://www.idf.org/diabetes-social-and-economic-impact-studies<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_1_diabetes#Epidemiology<br /><br />Get involved:<br />http://www.idf.org/worlddiabetesday/about<br />http://www.idf.org/worlddiabetesday/social-media<br />http://www.diabetes.org/in-my-community/programs/american-diabetes-month/<br />diabeticBobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09728298020238427631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2306192418904561634.post-48952022712152675082013-10-16T20:31:21.157-05:002013-10-16T20:31:21.157-05:00That would be awesome to have my insulin and strip...That would be awesome to have my insulin and strips AND pump AND dex supplies covered at 100%!Shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13870821113645406830noreply@blogger.com
