default
Posted on Thu, 10 Nov 2016
Question: I am a type 2 diabetic, has been for several years. My diabetes was out of control. Because of my job I missed appointments(not all in a row). I was dropped from the doctors's office and could not get a refill on my insulin. I have lost several pounds and I want/need to get back on my insulin. I don't know what to do about a doctor. I have insurance.
