One of the things that I rarely ever share about myself is the fact that I have Type 2 Diabetes. I’m not ashamed of it I just don’t like it when people begin to try to police me once they find out. With diet, exercise and medication I am able to keep my illness under control. That being said one of the most important aspects of managing my diabetes is checking and monitoring my blood sugars. To do this I need the following: Glucose Monitor, Test Strips, Lancets and Alcohol swabs. I test my blood glucose 4 times a day. Having to do all of this discreetly was hard in the beginning but I’ve got it down to a science now. I can get it done in about 1 minute without anyone noticing. Lucky for me these days manufacturers are making things smaller, more compact and a lot more convenient. I usually can fit all of the supplies that are needed neatly into my purse.
The way most insurance companies work is your doctor gives you a prescription for 30 days supply at a time, you take that prescription to the pharmacy and pay a copay. If you run out of supplies before the end of the 30 days you either have to get a new prescription (which could mean an office visit) or pay cash for the full amount. The prices of some monitoring supplies can be astronomical and depending on what your insurance copay is you could be spending a lot out of pocket.
It is for this reason that I am glad to find out about the NEW FreeStyle Precision Neo Blood Glucose Monitoring System. This affordable monitoring system (meter & test strips) is available over the counter (without a prescription) and it provides everything you need to keep testing discreet and easy.

Type 2 Diabetes is something that absolutely plagues the Black community. As a member of that community I want to do everything I can to spread awareness of this illness through lifestyle changes. I do this by sharing healthy eating, recipes, tips, as well as my diet and exercise routines on my social networks. If you follow me on any platform then you have seen that I grow my own food, walk several miles daily and watch what I eat BUT trust me it is ALWAYS a struggle. However, all of these things help to keep diabetes under control,based on doctor’s recommendations, so I work very hard at it.
