Welcome to the forum.

I am using MiniMed's CGMS with my 722 since late July...I haven't missed a day with it since. Complete life-changer. And no insurance assistance with that one.

Welcome to the forum!

Some insurance companies are covering the CGMS. It all depends on which company and plan that you have.

Good Luck!

What Duck said, it's been almost a year for me. My only difference is that insurance paid for the startup kit, but no more sensors. Crazy huh?
