DENIED! – Insurance issues.

I am not sure why, I will find out later today, but insurance has denied my request for an insulin pump and Continuous Glucose Monitor. I am not surprised about the CGM, but floored they denied me an insulin pump.

Do they not realize I have diabetes? My A1c at last check was 9.0, three months before that it was 9.3. A normal A1c is between 4% – 6%. I am already experiencing complications with my kidneys due to this and it affects my CF too. Do they not see the benefit of giving me a piece of equipment that will help lower these levels and prevent further damage and further complications???

Why does insurance seem to lack the skill of logic?

Oh Aspen, you must be in shock! I don’t understand these insurance companies – don’t they understand that you need this pump to replace part of your body that is now not there? Do they think it’s going to grow back??? I just DO NOT understand why it is so hard to get the help that you (we) need.

I love you and I’d buy this darn thing for you if I could. Makes me so very sad that I can’t do more for you.
