A friend of mine recently heaved a huge sigh of relief. Her uncle has diabetes and he recently lost his job due to health problems that are related to his condition. Although his wife is also working and her salary could adequately sustain them in their everyday expenses, his condition requires a lot of medications and supplies that will be expensive for them now. So my friend was ecstatic when a coworker told her about prescription assistance. These Prescription Assistance Programs help low income, uninsured individuals have access to free or discount prescription drugs.

She was even happier when she found out that not only will her uncle be able to get his medications for a low cost but diabetic supplies are also provided for free. They give FreeStyle Flash Meter Glucose Monitoring System, Freestyle Blood Glucose Monitoring System, or Precision Xtra Blood Glucose and Ketone Monitoring System, strips, and lancets to eligible applicants. She only has to make sure that her uncle complies with the requirements for him to be qualified. Now they are hopeful that things will go well and her uncle will show improvement in his health. He can relax now and focus on getting better and healthier.
