Have you asked about what they will cover for Lantus? Same thing as Toujeo, but not as concentrated. Insurance company totally missing the point of Toujeo though, it was designed for those that need more than 50 units of insulin at at time. Loved it when I was on 70 units daily.I just discovered this week that my insurance is now limiting what they will allow for Tougeo (my insulin) . The letter apologizes for not filling it as my doctor ordered because they believe no one needs more than 50 units a day. Super because I’m on 104!
Wounded Warrior Project is pretty bad about that too. The actual throughput of donations is very low compared to others.I agree about what I call those 'pathetic dog' commercials. I read somewhere that 95% of what you donate is used to pay their employees and run the business. I think the laws should be modified so many of these so-called non-profits actually give the majority of what they collect to the cause they claim to represent. Otherwise you are just paying the salaries of those running of a business that hides behind being a tax sheltered enterprise. Virtually none of what you donate goes to help homeless dogs. If you want the money to actually do some good, donate in person to your local vet/animal shelter.
There are similar commercials about saving some animals in Africa. If you read the fine print, it says you are actually donating to their 'general fund' and not specifically helping the animals they are advertising about.
My continuous monitor alerts me if I get below 70.I have hypoglycemic symptoms at 70 even though 70 is considered to be “normal “ so I guess I’m abnormal!
