[Diabetes-Talk] cencer

CGMs are not considered prescriptions but extra medical devices. Most the time, you can have a doc write a script for devices like this so insurance will cover it, but you don't have to have a script if you want to pay yourself. It's the same with traditional meters and even insulin pumps.

You can get dex com and cencers from amazon?
Really, I thought you had to have the agreement from your doctor as did the libre cencer.
Wow what are you paying for this from amazon.
I can't believe when these things see Dar coming they make sure they won't work loll.
