[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 831814, member: 30007"] Hi Step, the major difference between the libre and "real time CGM" is the data transmission technology. The libre captures the raw data on a memory chip and passes it to the reader to interpret via NFC when it is scanned. CGMs have a transmitter and receiver that function continuously feeding the data from the sensor to the receiver and interpreting it. The tech to do this is more involved and therefore more expensive. Abbott also offer a true CGM system which is inordinately expensive. [/QUOTE]
