Insurance-Covered Diabetes Management Devices Unveiled

Types of Diabetes Management Devices

Diabetes management devices primarily include continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), insulin pumps, and smart insulin pens.

• Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs): These devices provide real-time data on blood glucose levels, allowing for precise monitoring and timely interventions. Popular models include the Dexcom G6 and the FreeStyle Libre.
• Insulin Pumps: These devices deliver insulin in a continuous flow, mimicking the body's natural insulin release. The Medtronic MiniMed and the Tandem t:slim X2 are among the leading models.
• Smart Insulin Pens: These pens help manage insulin delivery with precision and can connect to apps for tracking doses and timing. The InPen by Companion Medical is one notable example.
