I WAS WANDERING IF THE METER IS AVAILIABLE TO THE PUBLIC YET AND IF SO IS IT COVERED BY MEDICARE. WHEN I EXERCISE MY BLOOD SUGAR DROPS TO THE LOW 60'S AND HIGH 50'S . I DO NOT FEEL THE AFFECTS OF THE SUGAR DROPPING UNTIL I AM
SHAKING. THEN IT REALLY HITS ME TO WHERE I HAVE TO TAKE A GLUCOSE TABLET OR
TWO JUST TO GET IT TO START RAISING BACK UP TO WITH IN SAFE LEVELS, I THINK THIS WOULD BE A GREAT METER TO HAVE ..
THANK YOU KENNETH BERRY
Kenneth-
The Freestyle navigator is public. I don't think the CGM is a Medicare covered item. the best way to find out is call medicare to see if they cover cgm's. If Medicare doesn't cover the CGM, you are able to private pay for the item.
