The problem is most Americans don’t have these types of chronic health issues, so it’s not an issue for them. I have a type 1 diabetic son, the amount of money we have spent on health insurance and medical equipment/supples is criminal.
I feel sorry for you, man. I have T1D as well, but pump supplies + CGM work out to something on the order of $200 a month in Poland. I am not even sure how much exactly, because I don't bother to count since it's not big money for me. Still a lot given the median pay, and you still have to buy the pump out of pocket, but nowhere near what's going on in the States.
Yep, I have a cousin in France who is also a T1D, he pays effectively nothing for his supplies (he tried pump+CGM but he's been doing injections for so long he found the pump to be a hassle.)
