I require a Dexcom G4 Platinum Continuous Glucose
Monitoring System (CGMS) in order to life a full, productive and healthy life.
A CGMS is not covered by the Canadian Government
and the cost breakdown is as follows:
The stand alone unit will cost $1840.00 and comes
with 4 sensors. A box of 4 sensors will cost $340.00. The sensors last
approximately 7 days a piece.
I was diagnosed with Type 1 autoimmune diabetes
with adult onset when I was 38 (I am 43 now). It is very unpredictable with me.
I also suffer from severe anxiety disorder and
currently test my blood sugar around 20 times per day. It is almost impossible
for me to differentiate a panic attack from a low or high blood sugar. This
would be a very dangerous thing to ignore, thus the CGMS would set me free by
letting me know what my blood sugar is every 5 minutes.
In addition to the CGMS, the costs of my diabetes
supplies, while partially funded by the government, are overwhelming.
I am hoping to be able to live my life again.
Thank You
