GLP1s and Insurance
Ah, insurance—a topic that can make your eyes glaze over faster than you can say "premium." We get it; it's a complicated subject that's often easier to avoid. But when it comes to managing chronic conditions like diabetes, understanding insurance isn't just a snooze fest; it's essential. Why? Because a staggering percentage of Latinos are uninsured (21% when compared to the national average of 10.1%), making the issue of insurance and GLP1s (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists) especially pressing in the Latino/Latina community. So, let's break it down, shall we?
