Those of you that are comfortable answering I appreciate your help. Those of you that have these systems, are you either on insulin or an oral agent to control your diabetes? I have pre-diabetes in my fingers are getting damn sore. LOL I am supposed to be starting a weekly injectable. I’m wondering weather I could possibly be approved through my insurance company for one of the systems based on either pre-diabetes or the fact that I’ll be starting the injectable. I understand that all insurance companies are different. However, I was wondering if it is an absolute that you must be a type two diabetic to receive one of these systems. Thank you very much.
