RE: [IP] Dexcom arrives tomorrow
Pat,
That could be, but it works so I guess I am just a non-compliant patient!!!!
I get them through my supplier Liberty Medical, but any medical supply store
would have them. Mine are covered under my insurance as medically
necessary. But all insurances have their own rules. If you have insurance
check it may be covered.
I have not had any problem so I will continue to be
non-compliant............

Cliff,
I thought the book and the company told us not to cover the sensors!
Did I misunderstand?
Where do you get that tegaderm?
