members with no insurence...

I have like 4 vials of fridged lantus and 1 humalin regular vials that are gonna go unused and expire eventually since i have a pump. Anyone know of a good donation place for people that dont have insurence and really need it. I would pay to ship it as long as i knew it was going to someone that could use it.

These people take unwanted insulin and diabetes supplies that are in date and send them to people who need them. =) Remember to keep some lantus for yourself in case you ever have any pump problems.

The Educators have people that come in and donate insulin and supplies to them, but they can't give them to patients. So, I would say to see if someone on the forum can use them and if not, then send it to a place like Diana mentioned.

You are very awesome to do something like this to help others
