Government-Diabetes.Org Launches Financial Assistance for Diabetics on Medicare - Washington, DC, July 2, 2008 -- The Federal Government has billions of dollars in free aid and assistance available for diabetics and diabetic small businesses. Many of these grants, loans and other sources of aid are seldom awarded because eligible diabetics and diabetic businesses do not know about them, do not have internet access or knowledge of existing programs. For diabetics who are handicapped, sixty- two to sixty- five or older, the program offers assistance with necessary home repairs, for example, replacement of leaky roofs, porch repairs, plumbing and building of modern indoor restroom facilities. Repairs that are essential and necessary for daily existence.
