Control too good for CGM

I was really hoping to get on a CGM this year. Dexcom I saying my insurance will not cover it , since my control is to good. I guess they want to see that you are testing at least 8 times a day , and are going under 50 bg and over 250 on a regular basis.

I eat a low carb diet and have an ac1 of 5.2, and just don’t see those numbers. Dexcom keep telling me to submit written bg charts, which sounds like them telling me to fudge the numbers. This isn’t something I am going to do. It immoral , and I wonder if it could look bad at some point that I’m claiming my bg is out of control. I drive for a living now, so it seems like a bad idea to say I’m out of control.

My insurance is Select Health in Utah.

Has anyone dealt with something like this?

Thanks,
Dean
