Nice use of a personal story

value is in quality of life and ultimately saving of complications.
My husband has been Type 1 since 1974. He is hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic unaware. His insurance covered his cgm and supplies since 2006. Now, Medicare refuses. Insane. Please contact your Representative to ask for support and co-sponsorship of Bill HR 3710. It is still in committee and drastically needs co-sponsorship and support. Pass the word.

CONCLUSIONS Use of a nocturnal low-glucose suspend system can substantially reduce overnight hypoglycemia without an increase in morning ketosis.
