THE ONLY TOOL WE HAVE IS THE CAVEMAN FINGERPRICK glucose test strip system to accurately measure blood glucose and to monitor levels and glucose generation.
It requires one to test in a repeatedly and timely fashion to get sufficient data in order to properly control.
it seems I and by the feedback here some incredible folks are trying to harass those of us trying to control our diabetes sufficiently to stop problems, stop follow on complications and save on medical costs.
My reward and I assume others have seen is to get all sorts of harrassement and un-needed grief.
Where is the scientific treateses and the diabetic lobbying statements justifying this crap and miserly release of strips to those who want to control their disease.? I have asked many times - no response or no comment.
Supposedly we are supposed to be working to get this world wide sourage under control as numbers rocket skyword. How does this niggardly approach to strip usage allowance by medicare/insurance help us all?
It would seem the policies and approach by Medicare/Insurance companies ( minus a few exceptions) is to make matters worse.
Even following guidlines of Doctor, prescription, medical logs and fingerprick logs has not made matters any better and has been a constant fight for last 2 years appealing medicare's refusal's to pay.
Feel free to clarify my mis-understandings!
