No, they will have a couple of cents or dollars more, roughly the equivalent of additional 5 litres of beetus juice per month. In my country, test strips for non-insulin dependent diabetics were never paid for by health insurance. What do you think type 2's do in that case? Self-testing with self-bought test strips, investing a couple of bucks into their own health? Hell no! They listen to some governmental nutrition moron (exactly for 90 minutes), enlist to a state-sponsored "disease management program" and receive their mostly useless medications, then continue to eat like shit and, after a couple of years, proceed to using insulin, all the while getting fatter and sicker every day, crying how bad they have it and what poor, disease-ridden bastards they are, never realizing they got themselves in that position. I have to deal with them on a daily basis and I tell you: Fuck 'em. Let 'em motherfucking die in the most painful way possible. I no longer care.
