It will depend on the insurance company. The HMO that we just changed to used Medicare and Medicaid guidelines and required a C peptide test. That is their way of being sure not to give pumps to type 2s. My daughter is a type 1 and they made a mistake and told us that her C peptide was too low to qualify her for a pump. It is actually just the opposite and their cutoff was 0.7. You need to be producing very little of your own insulin in order to get that low a score.
