go online to pparx.org, you enter the meds that you need and they give you the info or have forms available to fill out to get them furnished for you. You have to fall within certain income limits and if you qualify they send them to you free.
I have also found there are a few meds that you can get a 90 day supply either for $20.00 or $30.00 depending on what it is.
RX Outreach (www.rxoutreach.com) to get the forms. You will need to get a written prescription with 3 refills so you can mail it in then you can get refills by calling in. They send you a new form with each order. The websight has lists of the meds you can get. We've gotten our first order in and they were really quick.
You will need to prove your income with your tax return and year to date paystub copy.
Call your local doctors and find out if there are any reduced fee clinics.
The diabetic educator at your local hospital may have some contact.
There could be an insurance that you can get from your state if you are unable to get any other kind of insurance, but we found for our state that we could not afford the insurance.
Good luck and keep searching and asking. :0)

I am a Diabetic who can not get insurance or afford med. care. The free resources that are available to people like me are the county hospitals. If you do not have any income you can check yourself into the emergency room and they will provide you with a free Doctor, give you free medication (Insulin and heart medication) and counseling services. This is paid by the state and you can use these services until you are financially able to afford it or provide it for yourself.

Good luck because in Maryland with a 8 month old diabetic I got nothing. If I had lived in Delaware he would had been covered. I begged every doctor and hospital and every manufacturer for supplies. Even now we can not go to the kinds of doctors and appointments as we should but we do go 4 times a year. You put your health first because without it there is no life in the long run. I make payments to doctors and just build up bills. We owed over 60,000.00 when he was diagnosed and only stayed 3 days in hospital. You make payments get called to court and judge says consistent pays monthly move on. Try your state.

In California, which is where I am , I know this 1st hand. I did not have ins., I applied for Medi Cal, and after 2 years of being off on Diasability I received Medi Care, the premium for my Medi Care is paid for by my Medi Cal. Meds were much better paid for my Medi Cal Only, now this year in 2006 Medi Care has taken over the meds part and it is not as good. I am getting my meds, but have had to change a few of them and had to have my doctor order tars to get approval for some that Medi Care didn't want to cover. Go to your local Social Security office they also can help you there. Good luck!

You don't need to check into a hospital for free care. There are a lot of ways you can get the care you need without using up emergency care lines.
If you already have a doctor you are seeing tell him/her your problem, he/she will probable continue to see you for free, and always ask for samples! Reps love to give the doctors office samples.
If your doctor won't continue to see you... well he/she must suck anyway. Apply for state aid, in California its called Medi-Cal I think it is Medi Caid in other states. If you are in bad state of health you can get on SSDI then apply for Medi-care that will come with a monthly check to help out too.
lilly.com has a program for free insulin, but like I always say get the free samples from the doctors office.
There are in every community free clinics, call your local hospital for more information on where they are, sometimes they are right in the hospital.
PS they are not just for diabetic's but for all medically in need people
