Fight For CGM Coverage!

A continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system tests your blood glucose levels every 5 – 7 minutes throughout the day. It can be used by people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. CGM devices are changing the way some people manage their diabetes - but insurance coverage is sometimes tough to come by. If you want to join the fight for CGM insurance coverage, sign the CGM Anti-Denial Petition and let your voice be heard.
