A diabetic can get insulin at $22 a bottle with no prescription at Walmart.
4 bottles, 2 R 2 N, for $100 can last around 6 mos if rationed correctly.
The needles can last around 10 injections and go for about $10 for a hundred.
There is a European company that sells cold packs that work awesome - pour water on it and it gets cool.
Diabetics arent going to last that long, but a bunch of fat republicans with nothing to lose will be the last thing Obama wants.
Diabetes, especially Type II, is rampant in the minority and low income communites. That is also likely why there is lately such a push against *the obesity epidemic*. It is expensive for Medicaid.
Not sure if there is any difference for Type I.
