Hi I am new here looking for some info. In Mumbai is there any support from the gov. or any N.G.Os to cover some cost of the Diabetes medications. How much on average would the average cost for diabetes medications be a month.

You are at the right place sir. How about going without or with minimum medications? Try idm.

To reduce cost of medications, go for generic medicines sold by medical shops set up by govt., where the cost of medicine is one half to one third of the cost of branded medicines at other shops. Both branded and generic medicines have same value pharmaceutically.

If you have any medical insurance, you may pay less, but it depends. Can't give a definite total of price.

Oh. With the Affordable Care Act out here, it has some kind of discount, but this depends on the medication and supplies a person needs.
