Currently both are the same price on the NHS (or near enough) so you can choose which one you like if you get your GP to prescribe.Good comparison of the 2 here: <a href="https://www.diabettech.com/cgm/comparing-dexcoms-one-with-libre2/" target="_blank">https://www.diabettech.com/cgm/comparing-dexcoms-one-with-libre2/</a>I've been using the Libre 2 for many years - and know its problems well, so sticking with a 'devil I know' until I can see a benefit to go Dexcom.</blockquote>
