Continuous Glucose MOnitors

Good article on actions Abbott is taking to increase production of CGM and lower prices, as well as Dexcom & Metronix.

By the way, just got my Dexcom G6. Couldn’t get it through Medicare (will only provide G5) before 4th quarter. Got it through the VA. Also no co-pay with VA.

Good read, thanks for the information on the CGM market.

I ind it strange that you couldn’t get the Dexcom G6 though Medicare, because I started getting mine that way 3 months ago. Maybe because I called Dexcom first?

Called Dexcom direct, called the Dexcom area rep. All gave same answer. Medicare may be 4th quarter 2019.
