The Dexcom One+ costs £79 if you buy 3 or £229 if you buy 9 on a subscription, which is what I did. I think this makes it cheaper than the Libre 2 Plus.

There is also a £4.99 shipping charge from Dexcom if you order 1, 3 (Monthly) or 9 (quarterly) sensors. So it pays to get a quarterly subscription.

I just got a 3 month subscription for Dexcom One+ for £229 (9 sensors) - see https://uk.store.dexcom.com/en-GB/dexcom-one-plus/STX-D7-SUBSCRIPTION.html This works out at £2.54/day or £2.42/day if you use the 12 hour grace period for each sensor.

For those Type 2 Diabetics who have a CGM, what is your Time In Range using the default values 3.9-10.0 mmol/L Mine is 99% with 1% high, 0% very high (>14) and 0% low. I control type 2 using a LCHF diet

My wife liked the Eva Bold Chocolate Orange Keto Protein Bars, but she did say they made her want to have a poo afterwards, probably because of the erythritol. I have ordered some Pulsin Choc Fudge Keto Bars which use Xylitol as a sweetener.

Personally I would keep the CGM range in the default settings of 3.9 to 10. That is what diabetes doctors are most used to. If you want to understand the benefits of a LCHF for type 2 diabetics diet take a look at this video ...
