[Diabetes-talk] Accessible CGM

Sat Jul 9 21:17:12 UTC 2016

I don't have Medicare but it was covered at 80 per cent. Some supplemental
insurance will cover it and it's oh so close under Medicare. For most
insurance companies, if you can show that you've had at least four lows in a
month, you're in. My 80 per cent was three hundred something. And then there
is the cost of sensors each month. Here's hoping someone gets something new
to happen. But I do know that a lot of people are working on it for obvious
reasons.

And as I understand, Medicare does not cover it, correct? How much is it out
of pocket?

Do any insurances cover it?

Bridgit, you buy the Dexcom G5 mobile which comes with a receiver, that we
won't use. Then you put the Dexcom app on your iPhone. If you want your
doctor to have access to your graphs and numbers, you put another app on the
phone to do that. 
Once I figured out that my first four sensors had bad tape on them, I've
been doing a bit better. But I still can't get the thing stuck to me without
at least one wrinkle in the tape. By the end of the week, my sensor usually
doesn't stay on for that last shower. The hardest thing for me was
remembering to keep track of my iPhone, which must be within 20 feet of you.
Mine has interrupted me a lot during the night though and I definitely am
getting less sleep right now. But I have learned a lot in the last three and
a half weeks and it's nice to have the information for sure.

What's the name of the CGM that has an accessible app? Thanks.
