Islets of Hope for Persons with Diabetes

VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT DONATING SUPPLIES!

Many organizations are in need of donations of new, unexpired diabetes supplies to redistribute them to those in need.

Please do not send expired items as they cannot be used. Some places only accept unopened items so contact the organization before sending your donation. Federal law (and most states, too) prohibit the re-distribution of EXPIRED or blood- contaminated (used meters and lancets) medical items. Please do not send used meters and lancets or expired medical items to charitable organizations.

EXPIRED ITEMS must be thrown away and are not tax-deductible as they have no value.

The Ehrlich Law Firm  
Are you having trouble with your HMO or insurance company? Diabetes can often raise legal issues in addition to health issues, particularly concerning a health insurer’s responsibilities. If you are the parent of a diabetic child, you are likely to face another set of challenges concerning the care your child needs and receives while they are in school. 

 

If you live in California and need legal assistance in getting your diabetes supplies or care covered, or face discrimination at school or the workplace The Ehrlich Law Firm may be able to help.  Mr. Ehrlich is the parent of a child with type 1 diabetes and understands first-hand the unique legal and personal challenges of diabetes that you may be facing.
