CGM Denied
*Originally posted on 7/1/08*
Like so many others, I’ve been denied coverage for a CGM. As a diabetic hoping to start a family very soon, I need constant monitoring of my blood sugar. I use the CGM to treat highs before they get out of control, to stop lows before they become dangerous, and to see trends in my blood sugar.I purchased my CGM out-of-pocket because I felt that the information it provides is critical to managing my diabetes. To date, it has cost me $2064.00.
Shame on insurance companies for not covering this valuable and (in my opinion) life-saving device. Frankly, I’m not sure how these people sleep at night.
