 In the past year, the investigators have seen 35 patients followed in either the East or West Diabetes Clinics who do not have insurance and thus, no way to pay for test strips. It can be assumed that without an adequate number of test strips, these patients are not getting the necessary information to achieve optimal blood sugar control. This puts them at risk for more complications of their diabetes with concurrent emotional and financial costs to them and their families. Further, the cost to the community in the long run is increased.
