Maybe I have missed something here. But what
is the medical neccessity? Are you saying that you are unable to manage your control in the normal way?
I can see that a CGMS could be useful with children. And with people who, for whatever reason have very erratic control. But for the vast majority of us, moderating carb consumption and the corresponding insulin dosing is all it takes to manage glyceamic control without the benefit of high tech gadgets.
I guess I am playing devils advocate here because a lot of people seem to be getting caught up in high tech hype, the benefits of which are marginal and very expensive. Where I live, non of this stuff (pumps, CGMS) is funded. And, generally speaking, we are not any worse off for not using it.
