That seems unusual. The whole point of a CGM is to lower A1-Cs.

Not mine  after I lower my a1c, they used to , but lately they have just dragged their ffeet and so I am just paying out of pocket every time and getting from third party sources like amazon and ebay to save money on dexcom transmitters and senssors .

Does your insurance not cover anything for a CGM?

I was told by wallmart I would have to pay $400 for three cencers at a time.
There is no way I would be able to do that.
I took the libre off since I didn't want to keep trying with it.
Just didn't work for me.
