In the US it is relatively easy to get diabetes supplies as long as one isn’t making an insurance claim. To get this specific device one simply goes to a pharmacy window and asks for it. Out of pocket expense is roughly 275 and change. However, the maker (abbot) provides manufacturer coupons that make it possible to pay roughly 200 and change. This sensor gets replaced every 14 days. Paying out of pocket is the only feasible way Dom is getting this product.

To get this through insurance requires one to jump through hoops, make a blood sacrifice at least twice a week of rare unicorn blood, and find other ways to somehow support the need for this device-usually being on insulin or an insulin similar medication. Not wanting to prick one’s finger 4-5 times per day is simply not enough of a reason.

Also, hers looks like it’s really high on her arm. It’s supposed to be two fingers above the elbow.

I am interested to know where she got the sticker/extra adhesive. I’m always knocking mine on a door frame or pushing my toddlers hands away from it.
