REQUEST FOR CGMS: DENIED BY INSURANCE
I have been both personally and professionally affected by the ongoing denial of CGM coverage by medical insurance companies.
I have felt, since the first time I wore a CGM system, that this technology represented an astounding leap forward in the management of diabetes. To know what fo… Continue

Bad timing, poor preparation, no fun...
So, yesterday AM I put in a new set and sugars are ok during the day, not great. I had a high after lunch and then over-treated resulting in a low. Overall, I though that the set was functioning ok. Last night I had tickets to the final Celtics game of the season. I can't stress enough how excited I was. I've loved this team, th… Continue

- Well Mick - thanks for the friends add! Remember, next time you are in "labelle province" aka Montreal - you will have to let me know - so maybe we can meet up for a brewski or whatever your taste buds prefer! We can "bump" our pumps together in celebration of being PWD's! Whoo! Whoo!

- Hey Mick! Greetings from your neighbours up North. I am so glad to see a PWD (person with diabetes) working in the medical field as an endo. I kick myself sometimes for not following my dreams of going into the medical field (felt I owed Banting/Best my life) - but instead went to the U of Life. So far tho', all the years (only 42 so far) of having D is paying off, as I work as a diabetic mentor now, so life is good!

- Thanks for the clarification! I was concerned because my urine pH came back at 6.0. Glad to know that is normal!
We are happy to have you around and posting whenever possible, but we can definitely understand that your schedule is busy!
