I hear that a lot, but I think this may be a cached judgment and not be accounting for recent decreases in price and increases in CGM sensor quality. If you haven't asked your insurance recently, ask again.
- Adirael 14y agoI live in Spain and have no private insurance. Privates won't cover me because of the pre existing condition, if I had private insurance before being a diabetic they may have covered me, but things like CGMs and pumps always need a fight. Public insurance won't cover CGMs right now and are hesitant to give out pumps. I checked yesterday again, a Dexcom G4 [1] is around 1.5K, and I would need around 200€ each month on sensors. I'll probably end buying one out of pocket, but it's not something most people can afford!
