As a type 1 diabetic for 61 years I have always cared for myself and rigidly adhered to doctors advice. I am now a pensioner myself and am caring for a husband suffering from terminal cancer. I am currently in need of a Dexcom Type 2 insulin pump but cannot afford the price which is up to ten thousand dollars. I am aware of the face that if I was 21 I would have this subsidised by the government but then I checked on Ebay and can buy second hand quite cheaply as those receiving don't always want thus resell. This I cannot and will not take part in but wonder as we have just been granted the aged care assistance package for both husband and myself whether there is a reduction in price. I received my gold medal for 60 years as a type 1 diabetic last week but would have preferred the money to have been spent on a reduction in the pump as have bad neuropathy thus my old pump cannot work adequately to control my blood sugars. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 2001:8003:E9E4:AB00:D5C2:D3A2:2A7A:4EA8 (talk) 03:34, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
