Re: Question if you live with diabetes OR live near a Reservation
Having lived next to a reservation, and spent time on some, I follow the cost issues. I'm just not seeing the correlation to sharps disposal.
Type 2 diabetes is the common type of diabetes seen among native American population. Many, many people do not use insulin. And if food and water are expensive - more so is diabetes management. insulin is one of the most expensive liquids in the USA. Test strips for blood sugar readings are also very expensive, and many people go without.
I'm just seeing sharps disposals being more common in general, in areas of high traffic of people.
