(from a doctor complaining about medicare paperwork on reddit, click)

This was true in 2019 (when that comment was posted), but changed in 2021. I looked up the details because of @baeddel’s post since it seemed a thing that would be easy to fix by petition for rulemaking. Here’s the updated info, cross posted from Reddit:


Four years ago, u/Rarvyn noted that Medicare required 4 home blood glucose monitor (BGM) tests per day to qualify for a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), but only provided 3 per day.

I happened across that post via a recent Tumblr post about it. I was curious about the details and whether a quick petition for rulemaking could solve it.


Medicare.gov has only vague blather, so I looked up cms.gov’s serious version of the Medicare guidance & requirements on diabetes supplies and on CGMs.

This rule did exist in 2019, but was changed 2021-07-18, in revision 8:

Removed: Four times or more per day testing with blood glucose monitor as prerequisite for CGM coverage

That was done in response to many comments filed 2020-12 through 2021-01 asking for the “4/day” rule to be reconsidered (among other changes).


The current (2023-05-13) Medicare requirements for diabetes equipment coverage are, summarizing the links above:

home glucose monitor (HGM)

  1. diagnosed with diabetes
  2. Rx
  • adapted versions of HGM if needed for disability (eg blindness, motor control)

test strips & lancets:

  1. ≤100/3mo if no insulin treatment
  2. ≤300/3mo if yes insulin treatment
  3. more allowed if extra Rx for “high utilization” need w/ regular monitoring of usage

continuous glucose monitor (CGM)

  1. diagnosed with diabetes mellitus
  2. Rx
  3. in person visit
  4. CGM training
  5. any of:
  • yes insulin treatment
  • ≥2 level 2 hypoglycemic events (glucose <54mg/dL / 3.0mmol/L) despite ≥2 attempts to adjust treatment
  • ≥1 level 3 hypoglycemic event (same glucose threshold) w/ altered mental/physical state needing third-party assistance for treatment of hypoglycemia

Good time for a periodic reminder that “butch” does not mean “has muscles” and it does not mean “sidebuzz haircut” and if you look at a cartoon girl who wears makeup and skirts and high heels and decide she’s butch purely on the virtue of “she’s kind of buff” or “she’s got short hair” or “she’s rude to men” or “she knows how to fight” then you need to delete futchscale.png off your hard drive and talk to an actual butch for once in your life

idk who needs to hear this rn but suffering is not noble. take the tylenol

One time when I was younger I was refusing to take headache medicine and my mom said “the person who invented that medicine is probably so sad you won’t let them help you” and now every time I find myself denying medicine I just imagine the saddest scientist making those big wet eyes like “why won’t you let me help” and whoop then I take the medicine

As long as you are taking a SAFE dose of it, then it’s *good* for you. Pain is bad for the body. The inflammation from prolonged pain can worsen chronic issues and make it harder to heal.

Ibuprofen is best for pain that has inflammation, while acetaminophen doesn’t help with inflammation but is more broadly effective on other types of pain. As long as you are taking the recommended dose, you can even take them TOGETHER, since they have different mechanisms of action.

You do need to be aware of how much and how often you are taking any pain medication. Overdoses can be very painful (even lethal.) And if you are in chronic pain often enough that you need more than the safe dose, then you need to look into other medications to manage that pain.

(Also, if you are specifically taking Acetaminophen/Tylenol for your go-to pain management, getting some NAC and taking that with it reduces the risk of overdose AND may strengthen the effect.)

One other thing: NSAIDS (ibuprofen, aspirin, and naproxen being the three big ones) can cause digestive issues with chronic use, including stomach ulcers. That doesn’t mean “don’t take them,” it means “if you’re at the point where you’re on them all the time, every day, constantly, you should talk to a doctor about either reducing that risk or switching to another medication that doesn’t have those side effects.”
