Diabetes Resource Page

The Diabetes Resource page is intended to provide information on diabetes and to streamline and simplify the way those with diabetes may find assistance paying for their medications and related expenses.

Diabetes, as defined by the American Diabetes Association, is a group of diseases characterized by high blood glucose levels that result from defects in the body's ability to produce and/or use insulin. Diabetes affects more than 20 million Americans.
Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) are programs offered by pharmaceutical companies to help those most in need gain access to their medications at no or low cost. Each program has varying financial and insurance guidelines - when in doubt, call the program. To find the specific PAP information for a specific drug click on the list below. You will then be taken to a listing of all the programs available for that medication.
