Question:
MD Supervised diets

Cigna denied me again because I haven't had an MD supervised diet recently. The last one was 1996. I was wondering when you guys ask for help from your PCP, what do they usually suggest or do as an MD supervised diet?    — [Anonymous] (posted on November 14, 2000)

Blue Cross/Blue Shield required me to have had at least 3 months of medically supervised diet in past 12 months. So, my doc put me on a diabetic diet, had me come in once a month to weigh and have blood pressure taken. I did not lose a pound, I was approved one week later.
