the insulin pump can be a good choice for some patients who require insulin to control their type 2 diabetes. i'd suggest you have this conversation with your health care provider. he or she is in the best position to discuss the pros and cons with you and determine if you're a suitable candidate. as to whether the insulin pump will be covered by medicare that's a question i can't answer. your provider's office will have a person who handles prior authorization requests. he or she should be able to tell you if the pump supplies and related surgery will be covered or not. hope this helps! good luck!
i have type 2 diabetes. can i get the pump? i am 73. will it be covered by medicare and a suplement plan?
