      On a scale of 1-5, how satisfied are you with your current insulin delivery method (pump, pens, syringes, inhaler, etc.)? 5 = the most satisfied, 1 = the least satisfied
      I just started Omnipod 5 with Dexcom G6 after being with Medtronic for over a decade. What a difference! I only wish the insulin capacity was greater, as l have insulin resistance.

      I've had Tandem x2 and Dexcom since September. Previously on Medtronic for around 15 years. Grew to HATE the sensors and switched before the warranty on my last Medtronic was up. So far, I absolutely LOVE the Tandem and the Dexcom. I'm disappointed, however, in the amount of waste and plastic that this pair creates. Of course there will always be plastic waste from any pumps/sensors, but the amount of non-reusable stuff for insertions is ghastly.

      Not perfect, but a MASSIVE improvement over MDI (Multiple Daily Injections), where I was sometimes injecting 7, 8, 9 times a day, purposely to lower blood glucose levels. (Even that was an improvement over 4 times daily injections and having to test urine glucose levels because blood glucose meters hadn't made their way outside of hospitals, and having to boil glass syringes prior to each injection, and having to sharpen needles, which, to me, appeared the size of a javelin. lol.) It's a real pity that MOST diabetes-related medical companies don't make available information with regards to 'pairing' pumps with glucose monitoring systems, other than what they themselves sell, and we have to count on the ingenuity of users to find out this information for us. ;-)

      The tslim CIQ works pretty well with the Dexcom g6. I would like a way to cancel alerts remotely like with iPhone or Apple Watch. Then once the alert is canceled not have it keep going off after treating the event, either high or low.

    How much did you spend out-of-pocket on all of your diabetes medications and supplies from the start of January through the end of March 2022?

    After how many hours of high blood glucose levels would you change your pump site or open a new insulin pen?

    Next

    For insulin pump users: When traveling to a time zone that is 1 hour different than your home time zone, do you change the time on your pump? (For example, traveling from Eastern Time to Central Time, or traveling from Pacific Time to Mountain Time)

      Insulin $220, Supplies 0, Gvoke Hypo Pen $60, Telephone to use Dexcom G6 transmitter/sensor (which did not work btw) $110, plus trade in. I didn’t count Endocinologist visits $120. Luckily, I have a supplemental insurance program that covers supplies. However, the supplemental insurance costs several thousand dollars per year.

      Met my $3500 deductible and it was at least 95% diabetes meds and supplies.

      Luckily, insurance pays 100% for the rest of the year.

      250. , but that doesn’t include the $3000 fir the am ulance, and $2000 co pay for the ER when I slipped doen a steep slippery driveway in January and broke my ankle. Three bones. Just read an article that said long term diabetics are more prone to bone fractures. 72 years old, almost 60 years T1d. Yet another consideration to add to the ever growing list of benefits!

      Since I went to MDI I pay $210 every three months for insulin. Also pay $9 a box for pen needles. Glucose tabs. Frio packs. Adds up. Would be 0 on pump but am in pump fatigue. Just went on vacation and the pens were so much more portable. Usually tons of pump supplies for ā€œjust in caseā€

      I bought extra test strips and syringes this quarter plus the usual copays for pods and meds.

      I answered 1500 – 2000 but that cost covered CGM supplies for several months into the future.

      $0, which MAY be misleading to SOME folks on here, but I live in the UK (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) where diabetes supplies are paid for by our NHS (National Health Service), which is financed via direct taxation of all working people.

      OptumRX tried charing me $900 for my Novolog then it changed to $5,086, no way could I afford either. After much help from my endocrinologist office I am now able to receive my Novolog from my local pharmacy for $9 and change every month. My Pump and Dexcom supplies are $150 every 90 day’s, I just got the supplies.

      I said 2k – 3k, but it could have been more than 3k. My deductible is 6k, so there is no insurance help for the first 3 or 4 months of the year.

      Relatively speaking, very little, just for alcohol swabs, pump batteries, and glucose tabs. I did not include Medicare and costly supplemental insurance premiums, which cover other health problems as well.

      All my diabetes needs including pump supplies, sensors and insulin go under Part B and my secondary covers the copayments .

      Insulin is free under the Part D plan I’m on. Omnipod and insulin put me into the donut hole already, so I paid $354 for pods last week. It’s irritating that I could be on a tubed pump for nothing or MDIs for nothing, but the solution I like the best (Omnipod) is poorly covered by Medicare.

      Just to clarify, I started on a new insurance plan in Feb. and am still working on getting Prior Authorizations for my CGM and Pump supplies. So, I have not been able to purchase any of these. Thankfully, I have been able to get some samples from my doctor’s office to hold me for several weeks. These are running out though, and I am hoping the approvals come soon!
