Diabetes can be an expensive disease, especially for a family with three children. We do have Medical Insurance and it covers a good portion of our doctor visits and medical supplies. However, I was wondering if there is some sort of Temporary Medical help for families in need. With the recession and a decrease of hours, this would be a big help. What do you guys know about places to start? Any tips or advice welcome.
