    a 30 day supply of insulin for me would be 765 retail without my workplaces insurance. Insulin pump supplies would be another 450 a month. I dont know how anyone affords it without insurance from work. A parent would have to devote their entire minimum wage paycheck for nothing but insulin. No food, housing or clothes epenses unless they had another parent. And year by year a diabetics body needs a slightly higher dose as insulin resistence builds. Pretty tragic to be diabetic and poor in the US.
