The legislation also calls for insurance to cover certain equipment and supplies. It got unanimous, bipartisan support in the state Senate.
Dr. Llanyee I. Liwanpo, an endocrinologist at Providence St. Joseph Hospital in Orange, said her patients say they spend a few hundred dollars on insulin every month — although costs can vary depending on their insurance plan.
“Diabetes doesn’t just affect our older patients. It affects patients from all walks of life,” Liwanpo said. “I have patients who are young and working and have private insurance. I have type one and type twos who get pregnant and need insulin. And while I don’t see pediatric patients, I know there are pediatric type ones whose families have trouble paying for insulin and all the equipment.”
“I’ve had kids yank my tubing and pull my insulin pump out of my body, I’ve had kids rip my sensors off,” Young said. “Kids are naturally curious, but these are things most people won’t ever have to think or worry about.” “When I’m changing, I have to make sure that I’m holding onto my pump. It’s almost like I’m on a leash,” said Young. “My friend is having a wedding, and I got a really pretty dress to wear, but there’s no place for me to put my pump, so I can’t really wear it.”
