[Diabetes-talk] insurer's accessibility misconduct

[Jude DaShiell]

Would it be at all possible to track federal health insurance providers in 
terms of what meters and supplies they're providing their blind customers 
in time for the next insurance open season in November of 2013?  I have 
g.e.h.a. high option and my insurer insisted on providing me with a 
lifestyle lite which is not accessible as compared to the solo or prodigy 
voice meters.  Their action in my case can be justified for the time being 
since I'm on glucofage and so far haven't had any low blood sugar 
incidents or high blood sugar incidents.  Perhaps their strategy will be 
to wait until one of these incidents happens then switch me back to a more 
accessible meter.  Economically this would make sense, but I had to find a 
pharmacist to set the meter up for me and show me how to put the test 
strips in the meter.
