Two Year Weight History

[sherrypep 91]

I am stressing because I just go my two year weight history. My BMI in 2009 was only 34.5. I am now diabetic (about 1 year) and BMI of 36.7 but Aetna is pretty picky about their requirements. I have quit smoking and I am comitted to this process but I won't know if I am approved until I finish the program at the end of July. I am scared I am going through all this and will get denied by Aetna.

Well at least they didn't require a 5 year weight history as my insurance did, United Health Care. They consider other things though--other co-morbidities and the diabetes will help. Don't despair. Things will work out for you, just have a little faith.

I would definitly press the issue withyour insurance company. The BMI may be a little low but you have diabetes and a higher BMI now. Your weight has gone up which caused the diabetes. Now, they will need to send you diabetic supplies and more doctor visits in addition a bunch of other appointments if your diabetes gets worse. I would make sure they understand those points before they deny you. I hope it works out, Good Luck!!
