It’s a damn rip-off what they charge for those things.
I was recently diagnosed but very rarely have to check my blood sugar. I barely qualify as diabetic. But if I eat the wrong stuff I can feel it.
I was shocked what this stuff costs. I do not take insulin. Just a pill. I am determined to stay off insulin. It’s a day to day process.
But if you want an example of pharma taking advantage, diabetic necessities are a perfect example
