Geez Tony, I'm sorry to read of your denial again.
Interesting note though.

If the Companies would stop charging so much
for all these new gadgets, I don't think Insurance
companies would be denying People these items.
After the first couple thousand are produced, it
normally costs much less to produce the others.

Kevin could be right about them not realizing the
true cost...or was the cost mentioned?

I've heard of the CGMS but I haven't actually
read up on them so I'm not knowledgeable on
the length of time for their usage.

Since I don't know what I'm talking about, get
your Dr. to make out 1 prescription for the CGMS
for 6 mths. and a 2nd prescription for 5 or 6 mths.
every year. Or something similar. If they can play
with words...so can you.

If this message makes zero sense or does not apply,
please disregard.

I do hope that you can figure a way to get a CGMS.
Good Luck.
