Where can one get insulin/needles immediatly and for low or no cost in LA county…URGENT?
My friend is diabetic and doesn’t take care of herself. What makes it worst is that she currently has no money and is living out of motels. She has no insulin and no needles and is very sick. I don’t know what to do, but she needs supplies NOW which are cheap, or preferrably no cost. The programs i’ve researched can’t get it to her in enough time. Any hospitals ort clinics in LA county that can help her. please respond. thank you.
p.s.
i know if it gets bad i can take her to the ER but im hoping for a more long term/ less expensive solution….thanks

You can get needles at Walmart (no prescription needed) for a little over $20.00 per 100
Take her to a free clinic and see what they say. She may qualify for Medicaid. But even if you take her to get help — will she use and keep up with her diabetes meds? Sounds like more going on there. You can only do so much for people then you have to step back and let them handle their affairs. I’m sure she is aware of the horrific things that can happen to her if she does not take diabetes seriously.
call a state funded hospital in your area and ask if they have a free clinic or a clinic that has a sliding scale based on income. be sure to stress the immediate need for help.
i would start there.
mail order is always a bit cheaper but your friend may qualify for low income benefits. there are government programs for that. lots of paperwork and red tape, but it seems to me, your friend has no choice. i realize this doesn’t help your immediate need.
good luck. you’re a good friend.

Check the county hospital. They have programs for needy people with no insurance.
