Complicated Case - Can I file for Asylum/Refugee at all? Lots of questions

Dear community, I am new to this forum and I do have a lot of questions. I am very desperate and I hope that someone can help me.

I am german citizen, married to as US Citizen since early 2008. In 2009 I had an overstay but departed voluntarily after 224 days. Hubby is in germany now too and we filed the petition for me at the embassy here in Germany. We had the final interview a couple of days ago and my visa got denied because of that overstay. They told us I could file that waiver I-601 and that the processing time would be around 4 to 6 months.

But we cant wait 4 to 6 months. I had the medical on the same day than the interview and it turned out that I do have diabetes. The doctor stated in his report to the embassy that I will have to see a diabetologist a month after my arrival in the US the latest, assuming that I would be approved.

I can not treat or cure diabetes myself but I cant seek medical attention here in germany because I dont qualify for the statutory health insurance. I have to explain that normally anyone who either works or receives unemployment benefits from the german government falls under the statutory health insurance. I don't because of my husbands Retirement benefits. So my government will not take care of me, health insurance wise. So isnt my case a political case in the broader sense? So could I fly over with my husband and file the I-589 at the port of entry? Because I am very afraid that, if I cant see a doctor anytime soon (because there is no guarantee that my waiver would get approved. I know cases where it took years to get that waiver approved), I would develop some serious complications. I have to mention that I am insured under my husbands health insurance in the US, so that I could seek immediate medical attention after my arrival in the US.

If I would file, what would happen? Will I get detained at the port of entry or will I be able to process to my final destination? Can they deny me at the port of Entry because of my previous overstay? Or do they HAVE to let you in when tell them that you are going to file the I-589. What if the would not deny me then but deny my application later? Could they deport me eventhough I am legally married to a US Citizen?

I am totally helpless here! Please if anyone has any advice, let me know! Thank you very much!
 
you can apply for asylum, but you will be denied, i dont want to sound disrespectful but a german citizen from a an industrial western nation applying fro asylum due to a diabetic is a hard sell
 
Thank you for your replies.
I am aware of the fact that the application could get denied.
I know of a german family who were granted because they werent allow to homeschool their kids in germany.
Anyways: what is the procedure going to be like if I decide to file?
Will I get detained at the port of entry or will I be able to process to my final destination? Can they deny me at the port of Entry because of my previous overstay? Or do they HAVE to let you in when tell them that you are going to file the I-589? How do you file? You hand the application to the immigration officer at the port of entry? Or you just tell them that you are going to file? Because I read somewhere that you have tow days to file after arrival.
And the thing with the lawyer: I am sure it would help but unfortunately we are unable to afford a immigration lawyer.
