@CVSHealth has a corporate policy that forbids them from dispensing more than 3 test strips a day for insulin requiring Medicare patients even though CMS will pay for more if medically necessary.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you can’t just mix table sugar and water and inject it into someone who is hypoglycemic. Please make sure you have glucagon on hand if you use insulin. #diabetes#endocrinology
Got a fax from @cvscaremark regarding one patient saying Fiasp is back in stock, should they fill the prescription while also getting a fax from them regarding a different patient saying Fiasp is on backorder, please send an alternative. Which is it!?!?
Response from @IMMattersACP to my email regarding a photo in a recent issue. If a patient’s glucose is not responding to escalating doses of insulin, it’s important to review technique especially in someone new to insulin. #diabetes
When you rely completely on computers, few things are more stressful than walking into the office and finding you have no power. It being 80 degrees out doesn’t help either. Can’t wait til it’s noon.
