I think each sensor lasts about 14 days and they are £58 each on the Abbot website.

The sensors are £48.29 each (if you tick VAT exemption) Shipping is £4.94
Starter kit is £133.29 (also ex VAT) and includes a reader and 2 sensors. Each sensor lasts 14 days

I already have the reader and order 4 sensors at a time and this works out at £198.10 or £1186.60 pa.
