[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1615897"] I have the G4 for occasional use. I chose it because my Animas pump works as the receiver. If you have no pump or phone, you will need a separate receiver. I have no experience of this. Dexcom works very different to Libre. The readings are not stored on the sensor. They are sent directly to the reader so this needs to be with you at all times. And close enough that you hear the alert when your Bg is out of range or changing fast. I purchase the Dexcom sensors from Animas although I have read it is possible to buy direct from Dexcom for a slightly lower cost. You may need “approval” from your healthcare team. I did, don’t know why but it was just a formality. Might have something to do with not paying VAT. [/QUOTE]
