Inside Diabetes Will's Way: Helping Families Afford the Care They Need

Jun 23, 2026

Episode Description

What if I told you that there's a diabetes organization that will write a check to help a family pay for the supplies they need right now. Diabetes Will Way helps families afford insulin pumps, CGMs, and other diabetes technology when insurance falls short. I'm talking to Will Oberndorfer, the company's namesake, as he takes over running the non profit from his mother and godmother, who founded it more than a decade ago.

We talk about the growing number of young adults struggling to pay for care, why some families are considering going without insurance altogether, and the surprising trends his organization is seeing from the front lines of diabetes affordability.
