Arnold & pump
Just got back from a trip and want to get my 2c in here to Arnold.
My experience in getting a pump 16 years ago YESTERDAY 8^ ) was the ins. co.
deliberated for 6 weeks to see if they wanted to get involved. The conclusion
was that they would buy the pump only, no batteries, no infusion sets, no
reservoirs, no nothing else. That was all up to us. However, included in the
shipment were all those supplies. By the time I needed more, our ins. carrier
was changed; I submitted the bills and all was paid.
As far as being in good control for a period of time to received one (was that
Arnold or someone on another list? had 48 messages including lists when I got
home - can’t remember) my understanding is that if you are under good control
without a pump — the ins. co. figures you don’t need a pump.
How long has your son been diabetic? I have for 49 years and am 60.
