[NFBF-L] Prodigy voice

[Paul Lewis]

Here’s some thoughts for you to consider:
I would expect the medical professionals to meet much better at this than you or myself and of course it’s different when you are getting samples from somebody not yourself.
If you have not taken any diabetic education classes, I might suggest you give those a try, and if the prodigy machines are not working for you, there are a number of other models out on the market as well that you could look at.
You could reach out to your endocrinologist for the position, responsible for your diabetic care and explaining the situation and how you would prefer using a CGM. He might be able to write a letter explaining that isn’t medical necessity for you to use a.CHM. In order that you are able to control your diabetes with your best possible of counts and care. I think he bet you will also find that these devices are being made available to type two diabetics, whether they are or not.. hope this has had some value for you

I would love to learn how to use one of these continuous glucose monitors, but because I don’t take insulin, insurance said “no.”  I was in the hospital recently, (for something not related to my diabetes), but the nurses tested my blood sugar 4 times a day and never seemed to have a problem getting enough blood.  That leads me to believe that either I’m doing something wrong or my meter is just not very good.  I will thank you in advance for any assistance with this matter.  Thank you all.
