| I too read a lot of negatives about the sensors when I first joined this forum and thought there might be something wrong with me for liking it so much. I think it's something that may take a while to get used to, but I'll second everyone else's endorsements here and say I think it's been great in combination with the pump for helping to get some really great control...it's helped me with setting basal rates, alarming for lows at night (well, that's annoying but better than waking up not knowing where I am).
The University I work for switched insurance carriers at the beginning of the year and it took them 5 months to decide whether they'd cover them (they will) - the previous insurance company did. While we were up in the air about coverage I decided I'd pay out-of-pocket for them if I had to.
