Also please note that the freestyle libre link is not a full CGM device,

Until they make it a Bluetooth enabled and syncing device to the phone / app 
with Bluetooth 
It's not actually a CGM.

Subject: Re: Glucose monitor?

Larry, in my case, yes. The requirements were- Had to be diagnosed at least 1 
year, had to test glucose levels 4 or more times per day & had to  be taking 
insulin. Insurance plans differ, each persons situation is different & some 
peoples doctor is willing to help the patient get the needed device, while 
others doctor is lazy. So obtaining a CGM is on a case by case basis. Obtaining 
a CGM through state medicaid seems to be easier than private insurances.
