diabetes, type 2
"Doctor gave me a month's worth of samples to get my sugar readings down.  After 3 weeks,  they have dropped quite a bit (200+ down to 130-140).  Livable side effects:  MUCH more  frequent urination,  extreme thirst,  and chapped lips & hands.  Doctor faxed a prescription yesterday,  my insurance told me the cost would be $595.  This is more than all my other medications cost me for the whole year!  No generic is available.  I canceled the order.  Can't afford it."
