| Insurance and the Pump
I am wondering how low my A1c can be and still get my insurance company to authorize a pump?
If some people were willing to say what their A1c's were when authorized, it might give me some idea what I am up against.
Five months of tweaking my oral meds gave really bad results for me. Two months of Lantus turned out even worse, but Novolog is working very well. I don't know that I can swing the cost of a pump right now, I have a high deductable.
My last A1c was 7.8
The previous one was 8.4
Projections of my next one, in March, are for about a 6.0 A1c, based on my glucose average of 127 for the last month.
So.. I am thinking if I don't get a pump before March, I might be stuck on MDI forever. My doctor thinks I would do well on a pump, I do too.
Your thoughts anyone? |
