My 23 year old boyfriend, who has type 1 diabetes, has over $50, 000 in medical bills, which we have no way of paying, and I pay for his insulin. e does not have a personal doctor, because we cannot afford the physician visits, and no one seems interested in helping us. Are there any programs available to pay for his medical bills, physician visits, and/or prescriptions?

I’m a college senior who had a serious low and now overtreat my lows due to fear. How would I go about finding a psychiatrist/therapist that works with young adults (and/or possibly a diabetes team that works with young adults)?
