[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 934528, member: 102150"] Tbh I never followed Dexcom's recommendation which is to finger prick test before every bolus. I guess you could double two of those up with calibration tests so that's 3-4 per day rather than 5-6. However I did find the Dexcom G4 performed a lot better when I over calibrated, calibrating about 4 times a day at the normal finger prick times. It tracked a lot closer to the finger prick result and started picking up events (eg hypos) it had been missing. Particularly after long reuse of the sensor. What if any sensor reuse did you assume for your £1800/year number? [/QUOTE]
