GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER IS SIGNING A NEW LAW REQUIRING INSURANCE COVERAGE OF CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITORS. 

THE WEARABLE MONITORS ARE ESSENTIAL FOR PATIENTS WITH TYPE ONE AND TYPE TWO DIABETES TO TRACK THEIR BLOOD SUGAR LEVEL THROUGHOUT THE DAY BUT AREN’T ALWAYS AFFORDABLE SAYS GOVERNOR PRITZKER.

GOVERNOR PRITZKER SAYS THE LAW ENSURES EVERYONE HAS ACCESS TO THIS POTENTIALLY LIFE SAVING OPTION.

THE LAW, WHICH TAKES EFFECT IN JANUARY, ENSURES THAT HEALTH PLANS COVER THE DEVICES. MORE THAN ONE POINT THREE MILLION PEOPLE IN ILLINOIS SUFFER FROM DIABETES.
