| Discount Diabetes Supplies |
Sometimes we have to purchase supplies. Because our funding is so limited we need to use the cheapest sources possible. We have been using Hocks Online for a while and were pleased with their service and prices. Because of our good relationship with Hocks we agreed to accept them as IPump's first affiliate sponsor. While it is not our policy to specifically endorse or recommend any company, we can state that we do use Hocks Online, and that for any order you place through one of their links on our site, they will make a donation to us.
Thank you Hocks, for contributing to our cause!
