Diabetes is one of the most common diseases in the United States, affecting over 18 million people. According to The Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia, approximately 6% of the US population suffers from diabetes. Since diabetes has such a high occurence, several companies have been looking for a way to help diabetic patients better manage their health. One of the best is Liberty, a medical supplier that focuses on diabetic customers.

Liberty has impressively managed to amass one of the country’s largest inventories of diabetes testing supplies. Customers can order these supplies over the phone or can place an order online at libertymedical.com. Liberty provides their customers with award-winning delivery service after an order has been placed. Liberty recognizes that many of their customers are elderly and in general poor health and leaving the home may be a difficult, if not impossible, process for them. Since such a service is generally not available for more traditional medical supply sources like pharmacies, Liberty is recognized as having a cornerstone in its delivery system.

Liberty offers a variety of supplies so that their customers can ensure that they stay in optimal health through every step of the process. Certain diabetics have to deal with insulin production problems. This pancreas-produced hormone is necessary for assisting the body in processing sugar. Using blood sugar in an effective manner is crucial for the body to produce necessary proteins and to maintain the individual’s energy levels. Liberty offers many ways for their diabetic customers to maintain insulin levels. For the customers who need it, Liberty offers insulin pumps that administer a continuous stream of insulin into the bloodstream. Another option that many Liberty customers use is manually injecting synthetic insulin directly into their body with needles and syringes. Liberty provides its customers with the necessary supplies and equipment to perform these tasks.

It is difficult to measure insulin levels directly; however in order for diabetics to know when they need to introduce more insulin into their system, they must have a way to find their body’s insulin levels at any given time. One of the best ways to do this is by monitoring glucose levels. Liberty offers glucose meters, meters which can take a few drops of blood to determine glucose levels, to its customers. In order to get a few drops of blood on a test strip, Liberty customers simply prick their finger. The glucose meter can read the test strip to determine glucose levels. A1c kits are also one of the ways to measure insulin levels. Even though A1c ktis are more accurate than glucose monitoring, they required the use of expensive lab analysis, until recently. Liberty does, however, pride itself on having the best diabetic equipment available to their customers, including a more recent offering of an at-home A1c kit.
