 Appeal Letter
I just recently got a new MM 722 pump and want to get CGMS. I tried and was denied. No big surprise there. I am planning on getting pregnant in the next several months and definitely want CGMS for that whole process.
I need to write the appeal letter and am wondering what to say. I will obviously tell them about pregnancy complications with high BGs. My biggest problem is that I am pretty well controlled and don't have hypo unawareness or nocturnal hypos. My last A1c was 7.4 before I was trying to get it down. I think my next A1c in two weeks will be much better. Should I show them the 7.4 or the new one. I think the 7.4 holds more weight along with the pregnancy plans.
Any suggestions??? I have looked at the children with DIABETES page and will round up the info they suggest. I'm really looking for what to put in the actual letter. Thanks!
