Before I begin my rant, I want to say I am happy for my life.  Despite what I am about to say, I wouldn’t trade my chance at life for anything.   But, I have had the worst week in my life.

You see, I haven’t been feeling well, and so I went to see my doctor.  After running a few tests and a couple weeks later, I find out that I have been diagnosed with Diabetes.

At least it is a disease that can be controlled right?  Well, that is definitely a plus.  On the bad side of things the coverage that I have for Medicare Health insurance is not adequate to cover the expenses I will incur with the Insulin, and supplies I will need.

I have looked into Medicare supplement insurances and I will have to buy into one of them.  Without doing that, I don’t know how I will afford everything I need.  Being young, with a low-paying job, it is going to take most of my income to pay for what I need.

In the meantime, my doctor has given me a free diabetes testing kit to start out with.  I will have to get the Insulin and other supplies I need, but at least that will help me out.  Now, I just need to learn about how my life is going to be different - because I am sure it is going to be.
