The Dexcom was denied once again after an urgent appeal to United Healthcare.

Ugh. This is frustrating.

The letter stated that I was out of appeals and that my next step would be to involve a third party review.

The reason?

The FDA has only approved the CGM for Type 1 Diabetes.

I’m just one mom—there’s no way I can get the FDA to help us, right?

I understand that insurance companies care about the bottom line. I really do.

But this morning, when Jackson’s sugar dropped into the 60s without warning, we would have known he was declining if he had this machine.

To the doctor making this decision:

To you, he may just be another claim.

To me, he is my whole world.

Please do the right thing.
