Abstrakt: Highlights Our study suggests that people with diabetes (PWD) face issues of affording and obtaining insulin and diabetes supplies, even in a population predominantly on private health insurance. Financially independent young adults reported increased compensatory strategies and resulting perilous behaviors to ration or obtain insulin and supplies, indicating that additional issues may arise once transitioning into adulthood. This study suggests that improved access and affordability of insulin and diabetes supplies is needed to reduce the financial burden and prevent adverse outcomes among PWD.
