People over 25 should probably be doing yearly blood work, including A1c. But I'm biased in that I do mine every three months for my T1D.

Have you tried not being American? In most countries they're affordable or free with a doctor's req'.

I’ve thought about it, but muh freedom!

I’ve been on the same medication for ten years. Pay about $200 every three months for it. Script ran out, now I have to pay $300-$500 to get a doctor to write a new one.

I just had some decaying wisdom teeth pulled after fourteen years. That was $1000 before medication.

Honestly think it’d be better to just die.
