[QUOTE="Flowerpot, post: 601570, member: 47217"] The maximum time I can get out of a Medtronic sensor is 7 days, after 6 days the sensor ends but you can re link it immediately to the transmitter and get about 24 hours more. At this point the transmitter needs recharging and I haven't been able to peel off the adhesive dressing and disconnect it without dislodging the sensor. I will have another try when my sensor ends to see if it is possible to disconnect, charge the transmitter and reconnect to the old sensor. The Dexcom sensors certainly sound as if they can last longer from what I have read online and if you do self fund,even with the need to purchase the receiver, it could well work out more economical. I don't know the costs of Dexcom but others on here do use them. [/QUOTE]
