Y’all. I just picked up my test strips from the pharmacy. Insurance limited me to TWO tests per day, not 5 like my Dr thought. I have to do a prior authorization to even get 5 per day.

@Kidfears99 Do they think you're pre-diabetic or something? Like, not even on insulin?
@Kidfears99 We need an Underground Railroad for diabetic supplies.
@Kidfears99 As a pharm tech, I want to rip my hair out on yalls behalf, this is incredibly frustrating. My heart goes out to all of you, I truly wish we could do better as a nation.
@Kidfears99 My insurance wants a prior authorization for test strips now - ridiculous never ever in my 38 years with T1 did they ever ask for this for test strips!!!!! Just to make everything difficult for us and the doctors who have to spend so much time with paperwork vs patient care 😡
@Kidfears99 How can they determine this and get away with it? They should only be going by what your doctor has prescribed. Not lowering anything.
@Kidfears99 Do you have local or state government representation you can ask to help you challenge this? In the UK I'd be straight onto my MP, and the patient safety org.
