I wanted a CGM, continuous glucose monitor.

For me.

Insurance says no coverage because I am type 2, not insulin dependent.

Fine - I will get my own!

Maybe, depending on cost, if you know what I mean.
The search is on!

 

Here is the second one I checked on:

The Medtronic Guardian Connect basic info:

 

approved for 14-74 years

sharable data

up to 7 day sensor

simple applicator for sensor

alerts

transmits data wirelessly to display device

display device available or iOS compatible device

CareLink program for trends and patterns

 

I like it!  I don't like the price~

One month of sensors $553/Cash price $345.

Transmitter (yearly)  $775/Cash price $620

SO monthly that works out to $617/Cash $397

 

Ouch, just like the Dexcom G6

Both are quite pricey when paying the entire price out of pocket.

 

One more to go.
