The only type of work left to you is a stressful, working at a desk job.<\/p>\n
Your arthritis means that you cannot do any job involving a lot of standing or walking.<\/p>\n
You need the Continuous Glucose sensors because you are hypoglycemic unaware.<\/p>\n
Insurance won't cover because you are overweight, thus you have to be Type 2.<\/p>\n
You have been pumping insulin because that is the only way you even maintain weight. Multiple daily injections and basal insulin made you roller coaster.<\/p>\n
The good news, they will pay for the supplies but Medtronics doesn't want to go for the overide.<\/p>\n
You could do the sensors out of pocket but it is somewhere around $500 a month, about a fourth of your take home.<\/p>\n
Another option is disability, about 2\/3 of your old take home. It would be ironic if that company would cover the sensors.<\/p>\n
Of course, I am lucky, I have Dulce. She is back working part time, getting ready to go full time. But that is a lot of work.<\/p>\n
