Totally agree with you but the  bean counters at the insurance providers
don't think that way.

Good to know. As a T1, I forget we don't all test several times a day and
might not have the arbitrary proof insurance providers currently demand. A
CGM should be automatic for any diabetic, T1 or T2, in my opinion.

Not always. They have very strict qualifications and most people get
disqualified.

I thought Medicare covered Libre. I could be wrong, but I thought people
here on the list have Libre covered by Medicare. But it might also be an
advantage plan.

Hi guys, thanks for the warm welcome! I live in Louisiana. I love the Libre
so far. I just wish it was covered by Medicaid and Medicare.

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of
the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of
these.
