Choosing health insurance can be especially complicated for people living with diabetes. Monthly premiums are only one part of the equation, with deductibles, co-pays, formularies, and the cost of insulin, CGMs, and pump supplies all affecting what someone may actually pay throughout the year. A new tool from GlucoSense is helping make these decisions easier and more cost effective.

This week on the podcast, Jonathan Fitch, co-founder and CEO of GlucoSense, joins us to discuss the challenges of navigating health insurance and how the platform compares plans based on premiums, medications, diabetes devices, and other healthcare costs. The conversation breaks down key insurance terms, explains why the lowest monthly premium may not be the most affordable option, and highlights factors such as emergency room coverage, lab costs, and prescription formularies.

We walkthrough a demo of the insurance plan comparison tool, showing how it estimates annual costs and helps users make more informed decisions during open enrollment. While the tool can offer a useful starting point, users are encouraged to verify plan details and confirm that their providers are in network before enrolling.
