I just don't understand why it's so fucking hard for insurance companies to just do their goddamn jobs. I've been on the Dexcom G6 for years, stop trying to tell me I don't need it, you aren't my doctor, you don't see me, you don't talk to me, you have no idea who I am or what my problems are. Don't fucking tell me what I do or don't need.

I feel ya. They technically are doing their jobs. Their job is to try as hard as they can to screw you over so that their bosses can buy a fifth house and yacht in the Caman Islands. And those Dexcom G6s just seem like a totally unnecessary expense when you can just pee on the stick at the Dr office once a week to check your BG levels.

@scrappy_Duncan My wife and I literally just made that joke, lol. "Just think about how lonely the insurance CEO's other 4 houses will be if he doesn't buy the 5th."

It's just disgusting.
