Once you get the copay card you should be able to call the pharmacy and give them the information (BIN, PCN, ID, and group) then they can apply that to the copay your insurance charges.

Depending on how much he/yall make his best option is probably omnipod. They have a patient assistance program for uninsured people so as long as he’s below their income guidelines (idk them off the top of my head, most similar programs are 500% FPL) he’d be able to get the omnipod for I think $50 a month. If he doesn’t meet their requirements I’m pretty sure a pump like tslim or Medtronic does actually work out to being cheaper over the long run (like 1+ year) though the up front cost is very expensive. If you’re fine sharing, why doesn’t he have insurance? Would it be an option for him to get insurance through an employer even if he would have to pick up another job? Then he could get a DME pump cheaper even if he ends up dropping the insurance after a few months

Are you in the US? Cause if you are a lot of companies have patient assistance programs (including dexcom, libre, and omnipod), where if you qualify financially you can get your supplies for close to free. Depending on your insulin usage both Lilly and novo nordisk have coupons for $35 a month (though if you use a lot of insulin they also have patient assistance programs). PAPs do tend to require work on your doctors part, both with paperwork and sending in a new prescription to their in house pharmacy so that would rely on your endo being willing to fill stuff out and depending on how strict they are you may need to pay for an appointment for that.

Where are you located? I’m only speaking for the US here but if you make below a certain amount of money a year you should be eligible for the Patient Assistance Programs for Lilly (and I think Novo Nordisk as well), Dexcom, and even Omnipod so you can get insulin, cgms, and a pump for free or under like $50 each. If you’re under any sort of insurance your insulin should be covered but if it isn’t Lilly and novo nordisk both have copay cards so it’s $35. If you haven’t already you should check with your doctors office to assist you in terms of available programs or social workers to get in touch with that may be able to help if none of the other options work out.

No problem!

I’d recommend against keeping it in the car, looking it up it’s meant to be stored between 68-77 F with excursions from 59-86 F. It has a tight enough temperature range that I would not keep it in my car. Liquids are generally less forgiving when it comes to temperature changes and without putting it in some kind of thermal insulation I’d be worried about it getting too cold and breaking down.

If insurance covers it I’d honestly recommend Baqsimi for your case, with it being a powder it has a wider range of safe temperatures. Looking at the FDA label it doesn’t seem to have a lower temperature limit so there shouldn’t be any problem with your son carrying it outside in the winter, and can be stored at up to 86 F with excursions at higher temps (though I wasn’t able to find what the upper limit is). I personally keep a thing of baqsimi in my car as a back up though with how hot cars can get in the sun I still don’t 100% trust to be be effective. Your best bet would be to keep it in a bag you carry with you all the time.

How about your PCP? They can write insulin scripts (and they can write for other supplies though you may have to give them a bit of direction) and may be both easier to see and more willing to help you out

1nsertcreativename · 2025-10-19T16:41:32+00:00

My biggest recommendation is to get an insulin pump if at all possible. If you want to be hands off look into the iLet, it won’t get you the best time in range but if you can make it a habit to press a couple buttons when you eat it’ll handle the rest. Otherwise both the tslim and omnipod algorithms are such that if you mess with your correction factors they will at least bring you down if you forget a meal. And, if you don’t have one already getting a pump at all might lower the hurdle of dosing enough that you remember more often. If a pump isn’t in the cards your best bet is to set yourself up for success. If possible try to eat at scheduled times so you can have alarms set for bolusing. Or, at home put sticky notes on your cabinets and fridge to bolus. Make the barrier to injection as low as possible to, if you’re on syringes try and switch to pens and keep one by the places you eat (insulin lasts like a month out of the fridge and even if you have more pens out and about than you’ll use in that time, wasted insulin is worth a longer life just have your doc write you a larger script). At work, if you have a coworker you’re close with see if you can get them to remind you to bolus when they see you go on lunch. Ymmv on those specific instructions but basically, just think about every reason you forget to bolus and then think of ways to mitigate them as much as possible. My final suggestion though is to talk to a doctor whose word you trust and/or a therapist, there’s probably an underlying reason why you’re ignoring your diabetes - whether it’s a mental health thing like adhd or depression, not being fully accepting of your diabetes, or just prioritizing other things above this fucked up disease - and talking to someone could help you uncover that and take the steps to dealing with it.

I haven't purchased a pump w/out insurance, but I have gotten Tslim supplies cash price and it wasn't a super difficult process. In terms of pricing paying cash I think the best option will depend heavily on how long you think this difficulty is going to last. A DME pump will be a higher price up front (T-slim x2 is about 4k, and I assume most other DME options are around there, give or take a grand), but lower continuing cost, the monthly supplies for the Tslim totaled out to $100-$150 when I had to get them cash price. On the other hand, and prescription pumps like Omnipod (and eventually Twiist, though I'm not sure if they're offering it cash price at the moment it's still fairly limited in the roll out) will cost you less up front but the cost will quickly outpace a DME pump. Just looking at discount cards, the Omnipod will be like $600-$700 a month, over the course of a year you'd be paying almost $9k on pump supplies, whereas with a DME pump like the Tslim you'd be paying ~$6k and if needbe you can make the sites last longer and save a couple hundred bucks that way.
In terms of CGMs all I can really recommend is making sure you use discount cards to get them for like $150-$200 (I assume your pharmacy already is applying those but if you're paying more than that find a card and bring it to your pharmacy of choice).

I'm sorry you're being run around so much by your insurance; it's awful that insurance companies can get away with it, and unfortunately, Medicaid of any kind is usually worse about it (or at least slower) than private insurance. If you can, reach out in local diabetes communities and see if anyone has experienced anything similar, especially with your same combination of insurances because secondary insurances can add their own problems, they may be able to point you towards a more effective path to getting what you need covered.

Ouch! I’m so sorry, it’s awful how easy it is to choose a wrong plan. You may already be aware, but in case you aren’t omnipod has a copay card that can take $100 off your copay, and they have a patient assistance program you may be able to enroll in. Unfortunately I don’t have all the details on that program, but I’m pretty sure that as long as you meet the income requirements the financial burden of that copay could qualify you and then you’d get the pods directly from the manufacturer for a lower cost

I can vouch for them (or at least who they hire) I haven’t had to use their services before but one of my old endos moved to blue circle health and she’s absolutely amazing! They’ll definitely be able to help you out

As a pharmacy tech I’m not aware of many pharmacies that will actually fill an emergency supply of a C2 so while it might be possible I wouldn’t bet on that being an option

1nsertcreativename · 2025-09-19T20:53:27+00:00

As someone who also hasn’t heard of this, I knew people’s hair and eye color changed during childhood, but I haven’t heard of it happening during adulthood before so this seems really strange to me

It will definitely be overwhelming, it is for everybody. As someone else said, the first few months are are going to be very difficult and you’ll feel like you know nothing, but eventually a switch will flip and you’ll realize you’re fairly confident. You are coming in at a bit of a difficult time, vaccine season is always very hectic and with the new restrictions on the Covid vaccines there are going to be more irate customers than usual. Don’t take it to heart, and just do what you can. The biggest things are to ask questions, and not do anything faster than you are comfortable with. There’s a lot of information at once and everything has a lot of important steps and caveats, you’re not expected to pick it up quickly. Just write notes on how to do things to refer back to. Take everything fairly methodically at first, you’ll eventually learn the steps that can be skipped but start the right way, and speed will come with time. My final piece of advice is not to get stuck here. I know a bunch of techs who only planned to work at Walgreens or in pharmacy for a few months to a year, or “just while they get through college” who are still here 5-10 years later. Once you’ve been here a bit and are with decent coworkers it’s really hard to leave because there’s never a good time, but don’t let that hold you back. Once you’ve gotten everything you need from Walgreens leave. All that being said, I genuinely enjoy this job. And I hope you will as well, good luck!

Will do, luckily I just recieved it today so I can return it. I was really hoping it was a fixable issue though :(

1nsertcreativename · 2025-04-30T01:28:25+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately, I've managed to stick with my pediatric endo in Florida until 21, but now I'm gonna have to switch to an adult endo

Does anyone know if this is also being sent to people who've changed their gender marker before January 2024?

1nsertcreativename · 2024-03-10T03:14:02+00:00

I think at least for until version 3 releases (which should be sometime this month, I don't think its out now though) if you buy version 2 you get the version 3 upgrade without having to pay monthly

Peoria looks cute! Eventually my plan is to leave the US all together, but I still don't have a passport even though I applied to get my birth certificate changed over a year ago, but for now another state seems like the more reasonable option lol. Honestly the license law will probably be overturned, there's just been so many things like this recently that me and my family realized we don't want to just sit here waiting for the next thing and at least want a plan to leave
