After you've been a diabetic for a few months, you more or less know how to handle it, and you either will go to your doctor with your problems, or you won't. The fact that people with diabetes will be diabetic for the REST OF THEIR LIVES, taken with the fact that most major insurance companies require 4 or more specialist visits a year to continue covering their life support, just makes the prescription system seem like a racket. Besides, insulin is available OTC anyway (in the US). It's just that prescriptions make it cheaper/free.
