Please help me afford life-saving insulin and other meds!

hi everyone I know I haven’t been on here in a while, i’m so sorry if anyone was worried. I hate to have to ask for help again but it’s a serious health issue and I don’t know what else to do. I have type 1 diabetes that I’m prescribed human analog insulin in pen form for; there’s about 14 pens every month (one main dose of long-acting a day plus one dose of fast-acting per meal) and several medications. All these meds are extremely expensive and my parents told me the terrible insurance they receive thru work that barely covered them in part before wont cover them at all anymore. we’ve tried a patient assistance program but the application hasn’t been responded to yet and this state probably has a massive backlog of them. without actually saying they won’t, my parents are basically refusing to pay for them ‘right now’ because there are “more serious expenses that have to come first” since they affect the whole household and not just me even though I literally NEED these meds to survive and keep functioning well.

this is partly because I had to cry and beg my parents to let me start getting treatment in the first place. they still don’t like the fact that I’m even taking meds and think I don’t truly need them even though the improvement in me compared to before is so clear. they’re a little more understanding about my diabetes/insulin needs since they know it’s out of my control (I’m lucky I don’t have type 2 tbh) but they’ve still decided that it has to take a backseat. I can’t afford to wait until they feel like everything else that’s ‘more important’ than my wellbeing is taken care of, I’m really worried about the damage my MH could take if I’m off my medication for too long and missing insulin doses on top of that will just make it worse and actually puts my life in danger.

Trying to stagger my eating so I’m having less meals every day helps stretch my mealtime doses out a little longer. right now I only have enough doses left to last about 1 1/2 more weeks so if I can’t raise enough money to at least afford the insulin, I’ll probs have to start rationing them — and if I have to do that for too long it’s very likely to end up killing me. if anyone can spare anything AT ALL to help cover the cost of all my medications, any amount wld truly be so helpful and mean so much! even if you can’t support by d/nating, just reblogging this post to b00st it helps alot! please please share!
