I've gone 5 years without a CGMS, what's another 2 years! LOL

I actually took that same exact method. Why waste all my time fighting and then possibly have to fight if something better comes out next year. I would have even a harder time fighting then. I know the flaws with the current CGM technology, so in my opinion waiting is the best option. I've gone 25 years without it, what's a few more?

Twice now I think my doc's office has messed up. The first time they kept arguing with me that I needed to see the nurse educators first. And due to work I had to keep changing appointments and finally gave up on that. Then this second time I saw the educator, wasted an hour of my time, walked out and knew nothing more than before I went in, and still dont' have a CGM. I gave them all the appeal paperwork for the insurance company and haven't heard back from them so I'm assuming the doc's office never sent it in, and now the appeal time has expired.
