Learn about CGM from Dr Kaufman - Live on TuDiabetes
Recently, we’ve been asking our customers about which diabetes management topics they’d like to learn more. Interestingly, most of the topics you tell us you want to discuss are around continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) – predictive alerts, when to calibrate, what’s next in CGM technology, etc. So, when Dr. Kaufman agreed to do a Live Interview on TuDiabetes, we jumped at the chance to ask her to share more about this popular topic.
If you’re interested, be sure to tune in to “The Use and Future Use of CGM,” a Live Interview with Dr. Francine Kaufman on January 11 at 4pm EST/1pm PST.
Dr. Kaufman will share the latest CGM information with you as well as answer questions submitted by the TuDiabetes community. In addition, we’re offering viewers of the live interview the opportunity to receive a copy of her latest book for the ADA, Insulin Pump Therapy and Continuous Glucose Monitoring: A User’s Guide to Effective Diabetes Management (while supplies last/limit one book per household).

I love the CGM system, however, after having it for over 2 years, then going on medicare, found out they will not pay for it. Any updates? Or is there any information you can give to help me get medicare to pay?

Why doesn't Medicare cover the CGM and the sensors? What is Medtronic doing to try and change that?

Hi my name is Susan. When I was 5 i had diabetes type 1. I was diabetic for 45 years. I went to the glass syringe to the disposable and the when Meditronic came up with the insulin pump it was such a wonderful life changer. i loved it. It gave me the freedom that a disposable syringe doesn't. I'm now cured of diabetes due to a kidney and pancreas transplant. But the insulin pump was the best thingI had ever used.
Best regards,
Susan

Susan, Roy, and Sue - Medtronic is actively working with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to ultimately establish coverage consistent with other healthcare insurance companies in the US. Our goal is to ensure consistent access for CGM and insulin pump therapy for all who can benefit. The first step is to work with CMS to assign CGM to a benefit category. We are excited to work this through with industry partners and will keep you updated.
