Q. Daibete strips,
A. If you are unable to pay for diabetic supplies for your son, you may be able to get social assistance to pay for test strips, blood sugar monitors and other medications. I know doctors can give you samples of some medications but I don't know about diabetic supplies.Make an appointment with your son's doctor and ask if he or she knows of any agency that will help you get free or subsidized diabetic supplies.I'm sure that doctors have other patiients who are unable to afford their medications.In Ontario it is possible to qualify for asistance with medications based on your income.If you type in free diabetic supplies into your computer you will find many site that offer free supplies.I would check with your doctor to see if they would reccomend a site.

does diabetes cause low back pain and tingling feet?
Q. ya i have tingling feet and low back pain. Is it daibetes or someting else?
A. Tingling feet could be a vitamin B12 deficiency, neuropathy, or poor circulation.
"June 8, 2009 -- The popular diabetes drug metformin may contribute to vitamin B12 deficiency, according to a new study.
Researchers found that 40% of type 2 diabetes patients using metformin had vitamin B12 deficiency or were in the low-normal range for the essential vitamin. And 77% of metformin users with vitamin B12 deficiency also had peripheral neuropathy, a common form of nerve damage associated with type 2 diabetes.
Peripheral neuropathy is a type of nerve damage most often characterized by pain, tingling, and numbness in the hands and feet.
Because peripheral neuropathy is such a major complication of diabetes, researchers say the results suggest that people using metformin be screened for vitamin B12 deficiency or supplemented with vitamin B12. Also, anyone already diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy who uses metformin should be screened for vitamin B12 deficiency."
The type of B12 to use is methylcobalamin. The B12 you get in stores is cyanocobalamin, and it doesn't work. The cheapest source I've found is Swanson Vitamins, online.
"our examination of the research, which included 22 clinical investigations of patients with pain, found that those with chronic back pain almost always had inadequate levels of vitamin D. When sufficient vitamin D supplementation was provided, their pain either vanished or was at least helped to a significant extent."
