anecdotal of course, but a friend would can't get an insulin monitoring system on insurance because his blood
sugar levels aren't bad enough. "So, you have to basically get really sick before they'll do anything".
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
