When I got my CGMS, it cut it waaaayyyy down. I almost always feel my lows now. I'll have to ask my endo about that though. <br />Scott, I didn't realize that there were different brands of glucagon. I am going to check into it.

He didn't want to renew my prescription for it....so I don't have one either.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10195064089817434291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602938156779787139.post-14802527906396075802010-09-14T13:22:49.845-05:002010-09-14T13:22:49.845-05:00So frustrating isn't it?!

I hope the brand Scott suggested is more affordable - I had no idea there was more than one brand.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836215891806148229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602938156779787139.post-47632319654027008592010-09-14T08:13:21.254-05:002010-09-14T08:13:21.254-05:00Cara, would your insurance company have covered No...Cara, would your insurance company have covered Novo Nordisk's Glyca-Gen (another brand of glucagon)? I wonder if that mat may have been covered for a lower cost? Something to look into. There is more than one brand of glucagon, and you should have one ... just in case!Scott Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286529314567223617noreply@blogger.com
