Over the span of two decades author, columnist and speaker Carol Bradley Bursack cared for a neighbor and six elderly family members. Because of this experience, Bradley Bursack created a portable support group, the book "Minding Our Elders: Caregivers Share Their Personal Stories."

 

You'll have to check your policy, but Medicare Part B pays for some equipment. Part D may not, but go to www.medicare.gov and you should find the answers you need. This PDF will tell you what combination of benefits you'll likely need for diabetes products.
