Which organzation can offer immediate asistance with diabetic (type 1) insulin pump supplies and insulins?

After 28 years of employment with one company I am unemployed with no medical or dental insurance for me and my daughter whose a type 1 diabetic. In the next couple of weeks I will need to provide additional supplies of insulin and materials for her meditronic insulin pump. These supplies are very costly without health insurance. Paying out of pocket will drastically impact our living capability at this time. I'd like to take advantage of an organization program(s) within the Houston TX area that could lead to temporary assistance while I seek another job. I appreciate your time and consideration. Thank you.

I don't know if this will help or not, as I am not on an insulin pump. I take insulin injections. But, check with the drug company that makes her insulin and supplies. Most drug companies offer free supplies to those who cannot afford it. I get my insulin from Lily and they supply it for free. I also get my glimiperide for free.


You can find out by going to www.pparx.org If your medication doesn't come up on this site then go directly to the manufacturer's website.


Good Luck!
Reply:Talk to her doctor they will have sample supplies of insulin, also call medtronic they are a great company and can help.


Try to stock up and are you applying for insurance that will cover you after a job lost ask your HR person from work. its Cal osca here in California.


You should not limit the area of search to just Houston Texas we have FedEx, UPS and even snail mail all over the country.


You may need to get Medicaid for her. Is she on SSDI? a Medicare drug plan might help out too.


I am a pump user also (sometimes), If you can't find any other help out there email me OK


Good Luck
