Sure thing, give a free monitor but charge an arm and a leg for testing strips. That's why I decided to start my page.

However, cost still comes into it: someone has to decide how much the tax payer will spend. For this reason some people find their test strip supply limited, we have much lower take up of pumps and CGM are almost unheard of. <br />As frustrating as this is, I Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773372806308930207.post-61736626407725796652016-06-09T11:39:06.640-04:002016-06-09T11:39:06.640-04:00I totally agree that decisions about which meds yo...I totally agree that decisions about which meds you can take should NEVER be in the hands of disconnected (& usually not-medically-trained!) people!! Gah! I have been switched between Himalog & Novolog randomly like that & thankfully they are both very similar so I don't have problems. Glad it also worked out for you!

Unfortunately for me I did not feel better taking the Novalog and had to wait 5 years before my insurance company allowed me to switch back to Humalog. Insurance companies should not be allowed to dictate which medicines we take. It should be up to the patient and doctor to make those decisions.

Of course I would complain if I had to switch off of humalog, but someday I am certain I will have to do it. I hope I have the same good results. <br /><br />I referred your blog to the TUDiabetes blog page for the week of May 30, 2016.Rick Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06927227605885917738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773372806308930207.post-2305606431728283002016-06-06T20:15:18.912-04:002016-06-06T20:15:18.912-04:00A lucky outcome of a crud policy!
