Neighborhood Diabetes

My insurance requires that I get my insulin pump supplies through a local supplier so I get all of my Minimed stuff through Neighborhood. The first time I used them, I actually took the F train out. The staff was very helpful, and let me know that from then on, they could just send everything to my apartment! I sound like Wolford Brimley right now on that commercial. They handled the transaction when I upgraded/​replaced my pump and everything was easy and quick. They also can fill Rx’s for other things like meter supplies, but I just get that at the pharmacy down the street. When I need a new Rx for supplies, they contact my endocrinologist directly and automatically send refills when it’s needed so I barely have to think. Ok, another Wolford Brimley moment there. Anyways, it’s a useful place to have around. If you’re on a pump, consider using Neighborhood instead of contacting the pump manufacturer directly, they may be able to send you the supplies faster (locally) if they have them in stock.
