**Please, no solicitations about ANY products. We continue to get a lot of people contacting us about various products, and it is causing significant distress to Bob to have to keep replying to insistent marketers. We have researched these and they work for someone whose pancreas produces insulin and just needs support. Bob's pancreas does not produce insulin, and his body rejects the insulin he provides manually. His situation is so out of the ordinary for diabetics, even insulin rejectant ones, that we have tried many options and this is, in fact, the last one that is available to try.

Meet Bob, my husband of 26 years and father to two beautiful teenage girls. He has diabetes, but with some serious complications. He has insulin rejection and has baffled doctors for several years. No amount of insulin reduces his numbers; diet and exercise have no effect on it either. Normal "high" blood sugar numbers are around 8. He had been at continual levels around 26-35. He's been on long term disability for 3 years as a result.
There is one last ditch insulin product that he's been on for a couple months, thanks to amazing people helping out with this campaign. It's not covered by any sort of health insurance, and for the doses they want him to take we're looking at about $500 / month out of pocket. I am only able to work part time with everything going on - our income can't support this medication to give it a fair try by having it regularly and in suitable amounts. The $6000 target would help supply this for 1 year. By then, if he can prove to the insurance carrier that it is working consistently, that might be sufficient to allow them to cover it in the future. As many of you have seen the updates, it is working incredibly well. We'll stay the course, and through these lower - normal - numbers we hope other things will be able to be addressed as well. Dizziness. Neuropathy. And get him back to work!
