You’ll be supported by experienced clinicians who care for a wide range of health needs, from everyday concerns to more complex conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does insurance cover diabetes supplies like lancets, test strips, and needles?

Coverage varies by plan. Most insurance plans — including Medicare — cover blood glucose monitoring supplies for people with diabetes, often with a copay. Coverage for CGM supplies has expanded significantly. A clinician can provide the necessary documentation to support insurance coverage.

How often do I need to check my blood sugar?

Testing frequency depends on your diabetes type, treatment regimen, and glucose stability. People on insulin typically test more frequently — including before meals and at bedtime. Those on non-insulin therapy may test less often. Your clinician will recommend a testing schedule appropriate for your management plan.

Are continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) replacing traditional finger-stick testing?

CGMs have largely replaced routine finger-stick testing for many patients — providing real-time glucose data, trend arrows, and alerts without repeated lancing. They are covered by most major insurance plans for type 1 and increasingly for insulin-using type 2 patients.

How do I properly store and use my diabetes supplies?

Test strips and insulin should be stored at room temperature, away from heat and direct sunlight. Opened insulin vials are typically stable for 28–30 days. Lancets should be replaced with each use to minimize discomfort and infection risk — though many patients reuse them in practice.

Are there side effects or risks associated with monitoring supplies?

Finger-stick lancing causes minimal discomfort and carries low infection risk with proper technique. CGM sensors may cause skin irritation or adhesive reactions at the insertion site. Insulin injection sites should be rotated to prevent lipohypertrophy, which can affect insulin absorption.
