[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1615949, member: 32394"] If you aren't going to use your phone as a receiver, which can only be done with a smart phone, then G4 will certainly be cheaper. You'll need: - G4 transmitter £260 lasts 12 months, but will go for a bit longer. The G5 transmitters die after 3 months, for a similar price - G4 receiver £350. so long as you don't drop it down the toilet this just keeps going. To avoid that there are nice cases that carabiner clip on. If you were using G5 with phone as receiver then you wouldn't need to buy a receiver at all. - sensors are £51.25 each and dexcom say they last 7 days, but I usually get 21 days or more out of one sensor. That's the same cost for G4 or G5, although I did find sensors had a shorter life span with G5 - there is no logic to that because they are the same sensor. I'm not sure about any package/starter kit price for a G4. I have read about people seeing good G5 starter kit prices, but it would make sense that the deal are for G5, rather than G4. Ring dexcom direct and buy them. You don't need any approval to purchase, you just need cash. Their phone for orders is 020 7139 1980. You just have to sign a form for the VAT exemption. [/QUOTE]
