That’s great!

is a little envious

Thurina: do you have a doc that can " prescribe" one? I finally asked my doc and he was like sure! and i'm thinking why didn't he before i asked..

that's great! good to hear this. the more you know the better you can address your health concerns.

dede can you get on with an endocrinologist to help manage your diabetes?

MaryTeodosio but thing is I am not doing whatI have to do.

my main doc is one

Dede39: I'm surprised he hadn't recommended a CGM before now.

MaryTeodosio: me too to be honest. i'm not his biggest fan but i've been with him for years. I need to find another doc but many won't accept my insurance.

you definitely need to find a different doctor. frankly, I'd question his interest in his field and whether ir not he has kept up with current research and best practices.

MaryTeodosio: well i have to blame myself a lot as he cannot help if i don't do the right things.

Dede39: yes but having the right tools to keep you aware of your health is important. anyway, you have it now and I hope it helps you gain some control.

MaryTeodosio: i get you now! thanks and tbh i'm treating it like a toy right now. I've tested way to much in the last 8 hours lol

They're expensive

Dede39: I think Freestyle (Abbot) is offering a $75.00 copay program. also checkout Good Rx to compare prices at local pharmacies. You can also check with your insurer and see if there is a 90 day mail order program sometimes that can be cheaper too.

MaryTeodosio: they're costing me about 40.00 a sensor so the price is not as bad as it could be.

good to hear
