Alot of the problem is that it has to be deemed "medically necessary" by your physcian, so if you have a good A1c, stability, and awareness, it can be really hard to convince your Endo that you should have one, and they are not willing to spend thier time fighting for the CGMS unless you have "difficult" or poorly managed diabetes. Example: My 6yr old does not have documented unawareness, or a terrible A1c since diagnosis 6months ago. So, Her endo doesnt see why we would want/need a CGMS, they have no documentation to prove we should be considered medically necessary since we are "doing well" therefore, they really have nothing to present to the insurance.
Of course we all know just having this stupid disease itself is reason enough.
