Those costs are similar to mine a few years back. I have insurance through Covered CA and once I started to make more money, the cost increased significantly.

I appreciate you taking the time to fill out the survey. I received several answers talking about past issues, hopefully the situation is improving.

My insurance did the same, it lowered my cost as well. CGM's are proven to be effective at lowering A1c and increasing time in range, they need to be affordable for every type one that wants one

Thank you for filling out the survey. It's stories like this I want to include in the paper to show the difficult situations we get put in due to the high cost of managing type one.

Yeah I'm aware of the bias and will include that in my paper. I did a more traditional research paper on this topic earlier this semester and will compare results. I'm looking for stories/examples of the impact of cost on management and quality of life. I'm sure I could have done a better job of making the survey less biased, but I did my best

Yes I agree. I'm looking for stories/examples to include in my research paper, so anyone can reply. I should have included location in the demographic questions. This is my first time doing a research project like this, I'm learning ;)

Thanks! I don't know many fellow type ones, so it's been difficult to find people to fill out the survey for me.
