Summary

Samantha Arceneaux shares with me how she has helped over 100 people living with type 1 diabetes to successful win their insurance appeals. Can't get your insurance company to give you an insulin pump or CGM??? Sam can! Also, I go crazy talking about United Health Care and Medtronic Diabetes because they are scumbags.
