A story on the front page of my local newspaper yesterday morning caught my attention. The article discussed the average monthly cost of treating a diabetic, and concern was expressed at the number of diabetics who are cutting down on their medication, including insulin, to try and save money. Can you guess what the average cost is? According to the article, the typical monthly bill to treat diabetes runs $350 to $900 for those without insurance, a price tag that’s risen as newer, more expensive medicines have hit the market. Emergency care and a short hospitalization can easily top $10,000, and long- term complications can cost far more.
I just shook my head as I read this article, because for less than $300 a month, a diabetic on Take Shape for Life/Medifast could very likely reduce or possibly even get off their medication. For less than $300 a month, someone could turn around pre-diabetes and never even become a diabetic.
Once again, Take Shape for Life/Medifast seems like a great investment to me :-). For a few short months and around $300 a month, we can get to our goal weight AND get healthy. Can anyone put a price tag on what good health is worth to them? We have a program with a proven track record, supported with ongoing research from Johns Hopkins. There is absolutely no question that this program works . . . as long as we work the program :-)
So who's committed to investing today in a healthier tomorrow? The long-term benefits of your commitment today are incalculable - and you're worth it!
