[Diabetes-Talk] medicare

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

My endo has confirmed it's to prove someone has certain conditions if under
coverage. It's always been as frustrating for them as for me that I have to
supply so much to insurance to get things like insulin pumps. I'm type 1;
it's not going away or getting better without the aid of insulin and
testing. I've been supplying this info for decades now, often to the same
provider.

Medicare is an insurance carrier as are others.  The reason for requiring
finger sticks from 3 to 6 times a day is not to continue to prove anyone is
a diabetic.  The reason for this requirement is to monitor your control of
your diabetes and the effectiveness of whatever prescription medicines you
take for the diabetes and associated conditions.
