[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1611113, member: 374531"] Yeah, pretty much - quid is slang for a British pound, like buck is slang for a dollar. Plaster is just a sticking plaster, what you guys maybe call a Band-Aid. Don't use dexcom so can't say what the cost is. I'll probably get around to trying dexcom sometime to compare the two setups but libre with blucon and xdrip+ is doing pretty much I want it to - keep an eye on when I'm going out of range and then pin it, and wake me up if I'm going hypo at 3 am after a few beers on a Saturday night. It can also be set up to alert parents and allow them to monitor from a distance but I've not looked into that. So, does what dexcom does. Some dexcommers use xDrip+ instead of the official dexcom app. It was initially developed by the Nightscout Foundation, a group of T1s and parents of and T1s who felt commercial apps weren't up to it, so it's got pedigree.
