It's expensive. Verrrry expensive, as I finish wading through the multiple tax forms.(yep, I'm one of the procrastinators)
Prescriptions:$825
Premiums:$860
Medical Conferences:$150
Copays to docs/hospitals:$860
Eye surgery copay:$100
Dentist: $350
Durable medical supplies:$710
Cost of gas:ALOT...
Hypo supplies/ADA membership/all things assundry and related:Who knows.Diabetes just keeps taking.
Summary: One of the most expensive diseases on the planet, and that's JUST for maintenance. The sky is the limit..and unfortunately, the costs will go up in time.No one can afford healthcare,these days.
Hurry up and find a cure,people. Heck,I'd pay alot for a cure(a relatively safe one)..a lifetime without diabetes would be going-into-debt valuable.(you'll likely end up going into debt anyway,as time goes on)
Here's to another year of diabetes supplies--and another year of having a really beat-up, dog-destroyed couch that I can't afford to replace!
ReplyDeleteIt is expensive! The numbers really drive that home.
ReplyDeleteIt's so darn expensive. Seeing all those numbers laid out like that is daunting indeed.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU for raising your voice!
It IS very expensive, isn't it? When you itemize it all out like that, it makes it ever more vivid. How do we do it?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this.
