“What can I do if these options aren’t enough?”
Doctors hear this question a lot because even if their patients manage to get their prescriptions at a lower cost, the costs still add up. If you find yourself in the same situation, here’s what you should do:
Contact a diabetes care and education specialist. They can help you manage your healthcare situation. They might also be able to find low-cost prescriptions for you. On top of that, you’ll get from them the right pieces of information about diabetes management.
Give a generic drug a try. In general, generic drugs are cheaper than name-brand ones. As doctors suggest, your copay can be much lower when opting for a generic drug. However, don’t change your medication without your doctor’s approval.
