      Same, this shit is expensive! Getting new insurance next year hopefully with work, but my freestyle alone is like 75$ a month plus all my test strips and insulin.. not to mention rent and utilities 😂 just trying to survive

      I barely get by. But I use dexcom and insulin pens because thats what I can afford right this second and barely afford. And its still expensive and my friend is helping afford that. If my friend didn't I couldn't afford anything because I'm trying to get my ssi right now
