Vacations, savings, retirement funds — they all take a back seat for those who have to pay high prices for prescription drugs.“When I was diagnosed in 1972, insulin cost about a dollar a bottle,” Gail DeVore said. She was diagnosed as a Type 1 diabetic in her childhood and has lived with diabetes for almost 48 years.The price tag for a bottle of insulin now can reach up to 0 in the United States.Insulin helps diabetics manage their blood sugar. DeVore’s childhood doctor told her she wouldn’t live past 40. She recently turned 59 years old.Diabetics often have to buy multiple bottles of insulin at a time. For someone with a high deductible prescription plan, that money comes right out of their pocket.“To afford that, which happens to be more than my own mortgage, it’s unreachable for some families,” DeVore explained.The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates around 30 million people in America have diabetes, which is almost 10 percent of the population. The national price of insulin increased from 4 in 2012 to 6 in 2016, according to the Health Cost Institute.“It’s the most expensive part of our lives,” Michelle Fenner said. Her 17-year-old son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes nine years ago.“It impacts us on vacations we can take, our ability to save for retirement,” she said. “We’ve had to pull from savings.”Insulin isn’t the only medication with a rising price tag. Fenner was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease just a year ago. Her medication can cost her more than ,000 a month. Prices can fluctuate based on the insurance’s drug coverage.“As I’m trying to keep my son alive and pay for all of his costs, am I going to be able to afford my medication?” she said.“Overall, drug prices have continued to increase,” said Gina Moore, the president of the Colorado Pharmacists Society. “We’re all touched personally by the cost of medications. My husband, as an example, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease a couple months ago.”Individual spending on prescription medication increased from 0.7 billion in 2012 to 1 billion in 2016, according to Pew Charitable Trusts.“It’s not necessarily a new problem but it’s one that’s been magnified over the last decade,” Moore explained.Income for pharmacies from retail prescription drugs went up from nearly .8 billion in 2012 to .9 billion in 2016, according to Pew Trusts.“Don’t hesitate to ask your pharmacist if they know of less expensive alternatives,” Moore said.But for diabetics, there are no alternative drugs for insulin.“It’s this simple, tiny little hormone that every body should make,” DeVore said. “And without it, we die.”“How can you plan your life when you literally have no idea how much something is going to cost?” Fenner said. 2772

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump spent time in a White House bunker during Friday night's protests outside the executive mansion. Secret Service agents rushed him there as some of the demonstrators were throwing rocks and tugging at police barricades. Trump spent nearly an hour in the underground shelter, which was designed for use in emergencies like terrorist attacks. That's according to a Republican close to the White House who was not authorized to publicly discuss private matters and requested anonymity. The account was confirmed by an administration official who also spoke on condition of anonymity. Protesters were a constant presence near the White House and nearby Lafayette Park over the weekend. Daytime hours saw peaceful protests and chants of "I can't breathe." 798

Whether you are an expectant parent or grandparent, one thing you might not think about before the baby arrives is preparing your dog for the new arrival. That’s where a "dog doula" can help.What should have been a happy time to bring a new baby into the family was a bit stressful for Laurisa Truemper. She was nervous about introducing her dog to her baby, Hazel."Dogs are a part of the family so when you get a new member, you don’t think of getting rid of a family member," Truemper said. "You are just hoping everyone is going to get along.”Her dog Ruby has always been a good dog. But Tanya Lim, the owner of Family Pupz in Denver, says a dog is still a dog. We should never assume it won’t bite.Lim calls herself a "dog doula.""As a doggy doula I support dog training for expecting families,” Lim said.Lim tells her clients to observe how their dog behaves around the baby.If it yawns, looks away, licks its lips, its ears go up or it has tension in the face, those are all signs of aggression or anxiety."A lot of times when there is a bite, people will say the bite came out of nowhere," Lim says. "However, if you observe footage of the dog you will see the dog was giving warning signs.”To avoid a scary situation, Lim says to set up baby gates around the house. Never leave the baby and dog alone together. Also, place the dog crate in another room away from the baby. And never yell at the dog when you see aggressive behavior.After a few easy adjustments given by Lim, Truemper noticed a big difference in behavior from Ruby. But she understands she will have to help her daughter Hazel act safely around Ruby as well. 1644

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — No one likes to talk about bunions, but they probably affect more people than you think. Doctors said millions of people have them, and there are more than 500,000 surgeries on them every year. Dr. Bradley Lamm with the Paley Institute in West Palm Beach, Florida has spent the last five years inventing an internal device and step-by-step technique.The device just came out this month, and he has completed 10 surgeries, including one on a Vero Beach woman who had heard the horror stories of trauma and pain from bunion surgeries."It has not been the case at all with this (surgery)," said the patient from Vero Beach.Lamm created an internal device called a mini bunion by crossroads."The reason this is so successful and lasts forever is that it corrects the bone alignment and soft tissue alignment all in one surgery through a small incision," Lamm said.A bunion is simply a bump on the inside of the big toe, which causes the big toe to drift towards the second toe and sometimes overlap. The pain caused by them can be extreme. Lamm described this as a minimally-invasive surgery where a device is entered through a tiny incision. "You get better motion and quicker recovery, back on their feet and regular shoes in one month," Lamm said.Now the burdensome bunion could be a thing of the past, especially for a once active woman, who loved walking and swimming. "I'm hoping to be able to get back into it again and that's very exciting for me because I gave up so much that I loved," said the patient from Vero Beach.This story was original published by 1598

When a 12-year-old Michigan girl was asked by a man to get in his car, she responded by asking him what the password was, to which he couldn't provide and answer. The Macomb County Sheriff's Office says the stranger danger incident happened Wednesday around 7 a.m.The girl was walking to her school bus stop when she was approached by a newer model, black Chevy, four-door sedan. The windows of the vehicle were heavily tinted. Authorities say a male suspect in the vehicle asked the girl to "get in the car." She responded by asking what the password is. The suspect said he didn't know, so the 12-year-old ran away from the vehicle. The girl and her mother have set a password if the mother were to ever have someone pick the girl up at any location. After the girl ran away, the suspect eventually drove from the area. The girl then continued to the bus and told a school resource officer about the incident when she arrived at school.The girl was uninjured, and another student witnessed the incident and corroborated what the girl told police. The driver of the Chevy is described as a white male in his early 20s with dark hair. If you have information on this suspect, please contact the Macomb County Sheriff's Office at 586-469-7198. 1254
