Tony, it sounds to me like they may have no idea what you are fully talking about. What it seems like they think is you are using the old Guardian at a doctor's office. Therefore they are looking at the cost of that. And in those terms, that cost is ALOT greater. It's like $250 for a 3 day wear. So instead of $5200 a year, they are thinking $30,000. Just a thought that maybe you could use if you decide to appeal again. Explain that it is a device that is home use and does not require expensive doctor visits anymore than you have now.

Diabetes is an Art, NOT a Science. You must master the control by skills and not by knowledge alone.
