I'd also question whether the alarm is really necessary. Generally on overnights, I don't drop to a level that is dangerous (haven't done that for years) so it seems a waste of time? I'm sure some benefit from it but I'm not sure I would, and cost is prohibitive.

Hi Tim,
I would have agreed with you until the end of last year (19+ years since diagnosis) when I had a series of very bad, very frightening overnight hypos. I live alone & this really unnerved me.
My experience with the Dexcom has been very positive (apart from the cost) & the alarms have been accurate. Of course I can't say how many bad hypos it has saved me from, because I now treat them almost before they happen.
It seems that as Libre users have found, the sensors work better for some people than others. Obviously I've been lucky in that respect.
I'd like to think that with competition from the Libre, Dexcom prices might come down..
