Aetna Approves CGM Coverage

Thanks, Mollie-we are considering getting a CGMS for our Son, Aaron, in the next year or so. Hopefully, by then it will be covered with no problems, thanks to trailblazers like you.

At 7:13pm on May 27th, 2008, Allison Blass said…: Can you please email me your email address so I can keep you posted on the plans? amblass@gmail.com. Thanks!

At 2:09pm on May 25th, 2008, Allison Blass said…: Can't wait to see you at the conference in July! I'm hosting a blogger/TuDiabetes dinner Wednesday night. I'll keep you posted with the details.

At 2:04pm on April 30th, 2008, Dee Meloche said…: Hi Jeff!My diabetes educator gave me a couple of the 90 degree insets.They insert automatically.I was going to try the manuals but when I got thinking about it,to me it would seem too much like an injection.I have always wanted a pump and want to have no memory of injecting insulin.My doctor wants me to do more basal testing because I only did it one other time with skipping meals.I haven't skipped any meals since being on the pump.I find it very hard to skip meals after 22 years of eating 3 meals a day by the clock. It must be very hard for Aaron to adjust to having diabetes.I got it when I was 19 and was devastated,but I bounced back.I just had brain surgery for epilepsy and was starting to adjust,starting to feel a little more "normal".Then this.But I can't complain.I have 2 sons aged 14 &16 who are both healthy.My husband is great!He used to wake up in the night when I was having a low.He would administer honey or would give me my glucagon.When he got this new job he worked heavyduty overtime and saved up over $6,000 to be able to afford a pump for me.Now that's dedication!

At 1:59pm on March 15th, 2008, Dee Meloche said…: Hi Jeffew! Today was my day of changing my site.I get very nervous when inserting.I was thinking of ordering the manual insertion infusionsets next time.Do you know if they hurt more that the automatic ones?

At 2:16pm on March 5th, 2008, Jeff said…: Hi, Maya- I've heard of Calvin College in Grand Rapids, never seen it or been there. Thank you so much for your kind words. It can be difficult having a child with diabetes, but we try to remember that a child with diabetes is still a child, we try not to let it rule Aaron's or our lives. I wish you the best with your studies, and of course with your diabetes!

At 3:57pm on February 24th, 2008, Maya Bam said…: Hi, I see you are from Michigan. I would like to study there in Calvin College, Grand Rapids. Do you know it?
And I also want to wish you a lot of strength. I just can imagine what a parent can feel about a little child being ill. I was 9 when I was diagnosed. I respect my mother so much for what she did and does.

At 10:54am on February 15th, 2008, Dee Meloche said…: Thank you for your concern about my wrist.I am starting to feel a bit better.I did this in my mother inlaw's driveway.I keep threatening that I am going to sue her.Ha,ha!

At 10:22pm on February 10th, 2008, Dee Meloche said…: hi Jeffew,I will be pumping insulin soon.I will be pumping saline for 3 days and after that I will be pumping insulin.I am feeling a little sad right now.I slid on ice and did something to my right wrist.It is swollen and turning pretty colors.
