[Diabetes-Talk] Accessible alternative ways of testing blood sugar

[Jamie Gurganus]

My G6 is being delivered next week. I see my diabetes educator on September 24, so I will probably wait to start using it until I see her for some guidance. We are also going to be looking at my pump options, which I think is just the Omni pod now. Luckily, I now have Blue Cross as my primary insurance with my new job, so I should be able to purchase it now. Medicare still has not approved it. Talk soon!
