Cgm funded or not

From what I understand it's not on the website. There have been a few people on the T1-CGM Facebook group that tried to buy without a receiver and were rebuffed.

In that case it's misleading advertising and trading standard should be informed.

It appears that they've updated the webiste. It now says: "Although the Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM System is a fully-mobile platform, a Dexcom CGM receiver will come with this system."

You are welcome :)
There are 3 CGM units on the market, Dexcom, Medtronic and the Navigator. So you need to ring the companies concern and ask their pricing.
There is also the Libre this isn't a CGM though, you insert a sensor and scan it with the meter for results.

I'm in the same boat, awake through the night checking on BG levels unable to sleep for worry that I will miss a hypo with my 6 year old. Have you heard of an organisation called INPUT? They work hard to get diabetics the medical equipment they need + will give you advice. The CGMs I am considering, even though they will bankrupt us, are the Dexcom G4 and G5. They are extremely accurate. The Libre is not a CGM, it is expensive too + readings from it can not be used to administer insulin so finger pricking still necessary with each insulin injection. Apparently the new Dexcom G5 is so accurate that it can be used directly for insulin decisions as long as you calibrate it twice daily with just 2 finger pricks. The G4 is cheaper than the G5 to run. I'm just trying to find out if the G5 is worth the price increase from the G4.
