christy replied to DeanSemperfi's discussion 'Insulin Pump - Start to Current "how long was your process"?'"Oh I know trying to obtain private insurance is well impossible. I meant that if they had other insurance available like through an employer versus just VA, then the whole process might go smoother. Less hoops to jump and less red tape."

Gail said… Thanks, Dean! I could pick them up tomorrow evening between 6.30 and 8pm. Would that possibly work? If your availability is better during the day, let me know and I can see what fits in my work schedule. I'm at Best Buy and have a somewhat flexible schedule. Thanks again, I really appreciate it! If I don't hear back, from you via tudiabetes post, i'll text you tomorrow. My cell is 952/388.8383. It appears from your page that you are a Marine.....my nephew just finished his basic training in January, so very proud of him!
