I just wanted to say that I too am a victim of the CGMS Denial SCAM by the insurance companies! I have lived with Type 1 for over 23 years now and my current A1C is 7.4. Blue Cross denied me the CGMS by stating that I am in "too good of control"... WHAT??? I thought that if your A1C was not under 7.0 that you still had some work to do in order to be under good control. Granted that my A1C is much better than some, I still cannot believe that the insurance companies can get away with this excuse! It's time that the insurance companies take the PROactive approach to diabetes care as all of us do and cover things early in our treatment instead of waiting until we have the complications such as blindness, heart attack, stroke, amputations, or worse. The insurance companies would spend less money if they covered these newer technologies up front. I guarantee you that the cost of covering the CGMS is far less than that a few days stay in the hospital for something that would be avoided by using the CGMS.
Thanks to Gina & others for this wonderful idea!
