The Diabetes Foundation supports patients who are unable to pay for diabetes medications or supplies – due to financial hardship – by paying for these goods on their behalf. The DFI is the only agency in New Jersey providing this short –term medical assistance to diabetics in need.This short-term emergency assistance is limited to a six-week period. Applications for medical assistance are only accepted from approved doctors or social workers from DFI’s Statewide Medical Assistance Network which is listed below. Applications received directly from individuals are not accepted.
The application is first reviewed by a Diabetologist for approval of the medication or supplies to be dispensed and then reviewed for approval based on the applicant’s financial need.
Upon receipt of the relevant prescriptions, the medications and supplies are ordered and shipped directly to the patient at no cost to the applicant. We ask that generic equivalents be prescribed whenever possible. Turn-around time from the initial application to delivery of the goods can be same day.

As of January 2013, I’ve been “officially” diagnosed with Diabetes..I have been borderline for years and have a Cholesterol level that runs about 375, my Dr. has come to the conclusion that this is all Hereditary based on the fact that it runs in my family..and also I lost my mom at her young age of 58 to Diabetes Melinitus, and an aunt and uncle. I am now re-learning the Diabetes life all over again as I’ve sort of “put it out of my mind” when I lost my mother 9 years ago. I am unemployed, disabled, on food stamps, and use a rural health clinic for my Dr. I have one of my mom’s blood monitors but I cannot afford test strips as the expense is too great…So, here I go down this road…
