Brief Summary
This study is designed to determine if there is an impact on blood glucose control in patients who receive free test strips. Patients in the study have no insurance or insurance that does not cover the purchase of test strips. A comparison of weight, blood pressure, and Hemoglobin A1C from entry to the final visit will be used to compare patients' management of their diabetes. Recommended values for these parameters will be used as the standard for comparisons. The investigators anticipate that patients receiving free test strips will show an improvement in the listed parameters as well as in satisfaction with their care.
