I received a call offering "free" diabetic related items (i.e. glucose meter, 1-yr. free subscription to a diabetic magazine and two cookbooks for diabetics). He wanted my Insurance information and my doctor's name and address. Since when does someone need this information in order to send "free" diabetic related items? It has all of the earmarks of a scam in order to take advantage of my insurance company under the guise of my doctor. I know that this has been used in the past to secure a "company's" income from Medicare, Social Security and the insurance company. PLEASE BE AWARE!
