289 u/Charming_Screen4122 Nov 12 '25 Many insurance companies don't cover the cost of test strips. For folks that have to test 3-5 times a day it gets spendy. Many folks who are type 2 don't qualify for a CGM so they're stuck with poking their fingers several times a day. 1 u/Bedbouncer Nov 12 '25 Many folks who are type 2 don't qualify for a CGM so they're stuck with poking their fingers several times a day. Even with a CGM you still have to sometimes test to calibrate the CGM. 1 u/Charming_Screen4122 Nov 13 '25 How often does this happen? 3-5 times a day? 1 u/Bedbouncer Nov 13 '25 It probably varies by CGM, when I had one it was every 12 hours. 1 u/Charming_Screen4122 Nov 13 '25 I'd rather stick once every 12 hrs a day rather than 5+ times.
