Like so many others, I've been denied coverage for a CGMS. As a diabetic hoping to start a family very soon, I need constant monitoring of my blood sugar. I use the CGMS 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 CGMS 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.
