Is there a service in Texas that would pay for insulin and other diabetes related medications?
<< What are the common signs of diabetes? What are the signs of Hyperglycermia? What is diabetes and why do you need to avoid so many things and food? >>
I have a friend who lives with her son. She is diabetic, and does odd jobs to pay for her insulin. She has other diabetes related conditions, but cannot afford the medications. She does not seem to qualify for medicaid or medicare. Are there any programs available to help her?

Yes, most pharmaceutical companies offer Patient Assistance Programs (or some have names for their own programs) that provide their medications for free to needy patients. She needs to contact the programs (look online by each drug company for each med she needs, or she needs to ask her doctor to help). The companies send forms to fill out. They want proof of income (copy of taxes, W-2’s, or other proof of how she’s paying for rent, food & bills) and a prescription, and usually a doctor must sign them. It’s a little work, but patients usually are approved for a year and get their meds in 3-month supplies.
