[QUOTE="Nyxks, post: 651140, member: 116204"] Id say if you don't have to pay for your strips and everything your lucky because having to buy them out of pocket is draining on the finances (it can explain some high cost of CC debt that some ppl end up in), I pay upwards of 800 a month for my insulin and almost 200 a month for just my test strips and another 50 for my needles (so I can even take my insulin) so just over 1k a month for my diabetic supplies comes out of pocket and that's before anything else can get taken care of like "rent", food, utilities, etc and I'm lucky if I can make anything close to 2k (average income is just over 1k a month) in a month of seasonal employment at minimum wage.
