yes! You need to be a good self advocate and have a doctor who will cooperate. I know someone who even though he is on insulin, had to fight with Kaiser for a year before they would provide it for him. These are the consequences of socialized medicine where bean counters can overrule doctors

you don't need the reader. You should be able to scan with your phone. it uses NFC and not bluetooth, so you will need to place the phone next to the sensor on your arm. When you first install or when you change the sensor, you will have to wait an hour before you do your first scan. Andy
