At this time, most health insurance companies only provide coverage for Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM) for Type I Diabetic patients. These medical devices made by companies like Dexcom and Medtronic, measure and report blood glucose levels every few minutes and give a trend on the direction it's going.

I believe that insurance companies will recover the cost of the device in the form of future healthcare cost savings.
