The symptoms for Type 1 are weight loss, extreme thirst, extreme urination, plus others. Is your husband losing weight, etc. Also if he starts complaining of stomach pains and has trouble breathing, call 911. I don't have insurance either and use a local teaching hospital with a Diabetic Clinic and get everything for free. If you are near any large teaching hospitals or clinics talk with them and ask about financial assistance. Another name is Charity Care. I can't say for sure that your husband is Type 1 or Type 2. Since he has not taken his medications, there is no way to tell if they are working. I am sorry you are going through this. Sending (((HUGS))) your way. |
