With more than 10% of Americans now affected by diabetes, odds are good that you or someone you know have been diagnosed—and you know how expensive the medications and testing supplies can be. It can be tough to navigate which insulin your insurance will cover, where you should buy supplies like test strips or meters, and which oral medications give you the best value. Fortunately, Dr. O has 5 exclusive tips that can help you sort through all the information out there and keep your diabetes costs down.
- Generics when you can.
- Compare long-acting insulins.
- Consider DPP-4 inhibitors
- Compare the newer injectables (GLP-1 receptor agonists)
- Don’t pay for supplies (if you don’t have to)
