Why would you think any insurance company do the right thing ? You make sense-they don’t

Same here! Actually I went to my endo and I asked her to please sign the something that would give the cgm and the supply’s for my minimed 722 insulin pump. She said even though if i signed it they wouldn’t go through with it because they find it as more of a convenience! But I am amazed that my 8 thousand dollar pump was paid fully by the insurance company. Now if they could pay for a $8,000 insulin pump why cant they pay for a $800 cgm? By the way it was hell going through the insurinceforpump
