Community Action Helps Diabetic Continue to Get Medication in Time of Need

Kathy is a diabetic who takes two types of insulin to manage her condition and tests her blood sugar three times a day, but after being injured in 2010 she had to switch from full-time to part-time work and was struggling to pay for her expensive medications after the decrease in income. At 60 years old, Kathy doesn't qualify for Medicare yet and was unable to successfully manage her diabetes.
