Hallelujah Monday

I got a call from my supplier of Pump Supplies. When I called back, I got the whole rundown on upgrading my pump. The person also said they, meaning the Company, had already sent the necessary paperwork to my Doctor to start the approval process. I asked about the CGMS (AKA: Continuous Glucose Monitoring System) and said supplier said they had run the CODES and they had come back approved.

This is really cool because I had a conversation with my DOCTOR last week and he said he hadn't been able to get any approval on this item. This says to me that my insurance company is going to pay for CGMS!!!!

I am only so excited because the actual cost for this option and the necessary supplies run in the ballpark of:(don't let the air suck itself out of the room please, which would sound like a sharp intake of breath)

1500-3000 for the Sensor and 250-350 per month for the supplies. This is so I can have the A!C of a normal person which is currently 4-6% ( this is a whole math problem of the amount of sugar divided by the total amount of blood)

I don't know about you but that is a prohibitively expensive (do you think I could have used a bigger word?) amount of money each and every month.

Just so you know, I really do talk this way in real life and I am very excited about this because I think all of my efforts to keep my blood sugar levels under control will not go wasted on the whim of whatever is happening to me at any particular time during the day.
