| 2302 | Joy Trout | I have been using CGMS since November 07. My A1C level has dropped by over 1%. This improvement in average glucose level greatly reduces the risk of complications I will face. I am currently paying out-of-pocket several thousand dollars over the past year. How much are my eyes, kidneys, and feet worth? To me there can be no price too high for this technology. I have had 3 requests and 1 appeal denied by my insurance company. I plan to keep fighting. | PA | HealthAssurance |
| 2303 | marie flores | please give all that need a CGMS, the chance to one. for those with diabetes a chance at a better quality of life. a CGMS is not a luxury, it is a necessity of life for us. if i had had one maybe i could have stayed on track with ny diabetes and maybe never have reached the point of needing dialysis. in the long run it is quality of life and fewer medical bills and problems for everyone. money spent on a CGMS today, saves more money tomorrow. look at the cost of a dialysis treatment that could be altogether avoided tomorrow. | TX | no insurance just in support of petition |

| 2319 | Pamela Wall | I support this cause. It is outrageous to have insurance companies dictate what should/should not be provided to patients against their doctors recommendations. A lot of research/expense goes into finding cures as well as medicines/equipment etc to alleviate suffering when there is not yet a cure. For Insurance companies to withhold payment for these and cause unnecessary suffering is unacceptable. | CA | Blue Shield of California |

| 2327 | Earle E Richards | I am on Medicare so had to acquire a CGMS out of my own pocket. I am also continuing to purchase the sensors out of my own pocket.

| 2333 | Anonymous | My husband has had type 1 for 43 years. we are desperate for a CGMS. He can have 350 bg and in a short time it may be 50. he checks his bg very often and has a medtronics pump. he works 45+ hours a week and now has been diagnosed with 30 % kidney function. The CGMS would be cheaper than dialysis or transplant. Please help! | AL | Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama |

| 2347 | Donna Gebert | Overall the cost of the system and the monthly sensors is far cheaper than the costs of debilitating illness from complications of DM like neuropathy, nephropathy, retinopathy, and a fatal accident s that could result from hypoglycemia unawareness. | PA | BC/BS |

| 2349 | Anonymous | My son has type one diabetes, and his A1C has been dangerously high for quite some time... It would be amazing if he could someday have a CGMS, to aid us in monitoring and keeping his BG down.although I know we cannot afford to pay for one, and i am sure his insurance would not cover it. I hope this will assist in changing the laws to help those in need! | WA | DSHS/Molina |
