Hopefully this time around it will get approved. You are so right about needing the DexCom, especially since you aren't feeling the lows till they are too low. Having my Dex for the past few months has really shown me that my control was not as tight as I thought it was (I was spiking at 2am and coming back down to range by 7am). I wish insurance companies would realize that for a compliant diabetic patient, this piece of machinery could potentially lower the risk of complications even more. Then they save money on you in the long run! Yeesh.... Hang in there! Hopefully this time around it will get approved.

I don't dread my A1c results like I used to, only because I want to do my best. As we know, some days are better than others. But as long as we keep a postive attitude and do what's right, we can expect great things. Can't wait for the results! Take care... Awesome post!
