I’d be happy too. Though there are a lot of “facts” in your posts most of which arent true. Which in particular would you like corrected?
“not all diabetics have similar requirements”
True
” or reactions to devices.”
False
” Continuous glucose monitoring systems are invasive”
false
” and the sensor which is placed in the body is replaced every few days.”
True but that is less often thanchecking fingersticks
“the continuous glucose monitors are very expensive: the monitor itself can cost up to $2000 and other material expenses are about $2500 per year.”
True though many insurances will pay
” Whereas, the standard monitor is usually obtained free of charge”
True
” and costs pennies per day to operate.”
False
“But even if you can own a continuous glucose monitor, the device is not as accurate and reliable as the standard monitor”
false
” and still requires calibration with a regular blood glucose testing meters every few hours.”
false
“Maybe this is why I am not aware of any diabetics who own a continuous glucose monitoring system.”
True I guess, though perhaps they arent sharing?
” Most insurance companies as well as Medicare do not cover continuous glucose monitoring systems and feel the higher costs are not justified.”
False
“A diabetic should be checking his blood on a regular basis anyway.”
True though depends on the diabetic and how often you mean by “regular basis”
” And if it’s so great, why don’t all endocrinologists have their patients wear it.”
I guess you did some research subsequently
I have a question for you. Several posters have pointed out to you that there are two types of diabetes. Yet you still seem to be fusing them together.
Prior to this discussion, did you know there were two types?
Do you know now?
