Overwhelmed by Diabetes Costs? Here’s How to Get Your Meds and Supplies for Free

Get free samples from your doctor. Your doctor might have samples of your prescriptions. Next time you see him/her, ask if you can get some samples. Even though they won’t cover your healthcare needs for long, they do help.

Consider a combination medication instead of two separate meds. Rather than buying two separate meds, you could get a combination of the two meds in one. This can lower your diabetes costs significantly, so ask your doctor if it’s possible and what to do next.

Opt for a 90-day supply of medication. Did you know that a 90-day supply of medication is cheaper than the standard 30-day supply? So, next time you see your healthcare professional, ask him/her to write your much-needed prescribed meds for 90 days.
