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

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

Oh, of course, Medicare doesn't cover the Omnipod. We potentially will have
new insurance, but, nothing for sure. My husband may have a new job soon,
finger's crossed, but, still, this is yet to be determined. Tired of all
this crap.

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!
