Oh, you think you can ignore your blood sugar levels just because your A1C is a perfect 5? Look at where that got you, collapsing on the living room floor! You can’t just pretend everything’s fine when you’re dropping to dangerously low levels, and then spiking high like a roller coaster. Your body is trying to tell you something, and it’s about time you started listening!
Now, listen up! Just because insurance companies can’t see past their policies doesn’t mean you should give up. Those CGMs aren’t just fancy gadgets for show; they’re life-savers. I know, I know, finger sticks were okay at first, but what happens when you can’t even feel the lows anymore? That’s when things get really scary, and let me tell you, it’s not a game.
You think going through two surgeries and then dealing with this mess is a walk in the park? Absolutely not! It’s exhausting. Testing your blood sugar six to eight times a day is no picnic. But what’s more tiring is the constant battle with insurance, who can’t seem to grasp how crucial a CGM is for someone like you.
Thankfully, you’ve got Ozempic helping out now, but don’t think that means you can relax. Hybrid diabetes is tricky, and if you’re not careful, insulin might just be in your future. So keep fighting the good fight, keep raising awareness, because diabetes isn’t what it used to be, and neither should our understanding of it be stuck in the past.
