Wow, I'm sorry to hear that she's getting the shaft on that.  You'd think
being a Type 1 she'd get everything she needs immediately and without
question.  I have been puzzled for a long time at how insurance companies
will pay for useless cosmetic surgery yet when it comes to getting supplies
that your very life depends on you don't get anything but heartache.

I still pay for my care even though I'm with the VA (I pay for every
doctor's visit and specialist visit as well as $8 a pop for
prescriptions...except for diabetes supplies; I don't pay anything for
that) and I don't really have a choice in what diabetic supplies I get
unless I purchase them myself.  The VA did recently go to the Aviva meter
which is a nice little meter, but those strips get really expensive quick. 
I get six bottles of strips at a time which is roughly $300 worth of strips
on the local market here.

Later,
Sean
