If You Have Diabetes, You May Be Entitled To No Cost Diabetic Supplies

This article is intended to inform people with diabetes in
regards to their diabetic supplies. When I found out that my
sister was diagnosed with the disease I started to research more
and came across some useful information that might be helpful to
others.

Diabetes is the country's sixth leading cause of death by
disease. As you may know it is the leading cause of blindness,
kidney disease, heart disease and amputations. Diabetes claims
the lives of more than 193,000 Americans each year. Approximately
18.2 million Americans have diabetes, but one-third of those are
undiagnosed. And many people that do have diabetes pay for their
diabetes supplies. If you have insurance and live in the United
States, you may be eligible.

As of May 2004, forty-six states have some type of laws requiring
health insurance coverage to include treatment for diabetes. The
states not included are Alabama, Idaho, North Dakota and Ohio.

As of 2002, two states, Georgia and Wisconsin passed an expansion
of current coverage requirements. In 2003 Hawaii adopted a
resolution to clarify its mandate of diabetes education coverage.
No new laws were passed during the first four months of 2004.

About 17 million Americans have diabetes today, including about
16 million with Type 2. In addition, at least 16 million more
Americans have pre-diabetes -- a condition that raises a
person's risk of getting type 2 diabetes. However, a diagnosis
of pre-diabetes does not mean that diabetes is inevitable, and
the new campaign aims at encouraging people to take modest steps
that will reduce their risks. Nationally, diabetes has increased
nearly 50 percent in the past 10 years alone, according to CDC
estimates.

It is good news that more states are passing laws to further
expand health coverage regarding diabetes. If you have diabetes
and insurance, most likely you can get your supplies at now cost.
