[QUOTE="Chas C, post: 1615342, member: 49223"] The Dexcom is more proactive than the Libre, with readings every 5 mins, with the libre you have to swipe the sensor. Cost wise the G5 is more expensive, but if your sensors last 4-5 weeks like mine and you already have an iPhone then the cost is reduced. But you still need a new transmitter every 3 months. Costs based on my useage Annual Libre cost = £1508 for 26 sensors + one off cost of £58 for reader Annual G5 cost = £800 for 4 Transmitters + £612 for 12 sensors (1 per month) = £1412 (+£275 for a reader if not using iPhone). So for me the cost is slightly cheaper for the G5. [/QUOTE]
