I am doing an investigation about how much a diabetic person spends a month in the United States, whether he pays all services and medications or paying safe.
The means found on the Internet I think they are a bit inflated and their contribution will help me get more critical numbers.
thanks to all

I don't know much about that, but think that treatments in the US are not financed, and insulins, sensors, bombs, etc.All that costs a lot of money, so it does not surprise me that it costs an eye of the face to be diabetic there.

It will depend on the medical insurance that the person has.There are some (very expensive) insurance that cover everything and others that cover according to what things ...

In the USA the medications are not subsidized, and there are no policies that cover them, that is, they all buy for their price, and insulin management is very expensive.Diabetics systematically use much lower doses than the guideline, to save, and that causes associated diseases that in some cases covers their own insurance.Therefore, in my view, your study has to be divided into these three blocks: cost of medication and management, execution of medical instructions and diseases derived from insufficient insulin administration.

@Vampa, is your comment very interesting, could you expand it?
Insurance companies I understand that they give insulin and measurement bombs.This is so?
And the glucometers, reactive strips, lancetas and etc?
Insulins and glucagon?

Hello.Actually, I only have a pedestrian and personal knowledge of the matter, from personal relationships;Nothing that has studied.A diabetic is a chronic incurable and very expensive patient, with associated diseases and a medication of stratospheric costs, which is precisely the opposite of what no insurance is willing to pay.USA has an atomized clinical regime among insurance whose minimum cost for a young and healthy adult is in 200 dollars.This makes anyone assure a diabetic and that only those who have a lot of money can afford what is common here.As insurance are connected to a working life, if the debut occurs during the company, the diabetic is captive of the company forever.Those who have to fight with these expenses, simply consume less dose of everything, which tends to renal rhinopathies and failures.It is curious that in a forum, precisely this, the corrector indicates as a lack of spelling underlined the word "diabetic" red.

I am Sudaca, so for me having access to free and quality health is a gift from heaven.
In most countries people work hard and save for the education of their children and health contingencies.
Of course, nothing is perfect, but it leaves me "thoughtful" when someone/ collective rant with the Spanish health system.
