I would imagine it's due to insurance, I lived in the USA for x2 years and it is tough to get insurance cover for an 'expensive' , pre-existing condition such as type 1 Diabetes due to all the equipment and drugs (insulin) the insurance companies have to provide. When I lived there, as I was a UK tax paying citizen (or my parents were!) and we discussed with my GP and he continued to write me prescriptions for everything I needed and I was insured in the US for all possible related complications but not diabetes meds/equipment. My Doc over there did put the effort in and find me a suitable alternative insulin should I drop/damage my entire supply but this was back in the days when we used glass vials and syringes :lol: with pens, pumps etc, I'm pretty sure all the equipment is interchangeable should there be any emergencies. Hope you manage to sort it! Who exactly told her she couldn't stay longer than 6 mths?
