[QUOTE="VickiT11979, post: 343849, member: 53386"] Eeek, those dexcom sensors are quite a bit more than I'd been led to believe! I was told £54.64 including VAT, and as a self funder you don't pay VAT so it worked out as £46.50 each or £186 for 4. That's a huge difference in price - think I may be leaning towards the Medtronic system now. I've been given prices for Medtronic & Dexcom if bought when the pump is supplied - £585 for Medtronic, including 5 sensors, the transmitter & charger, and £500 for the Dexcom, including transmitter & 4 sensors. The transmitter wears out after a period of time (heard Dexcom one lasted 7months from another self funding user, Medtronic owners say theirs last around 18months) then it needs replacing, which costs £350 for each type. The Medtronic prices I've checked with their rep 2 wks ago so I'm sure of them, will recheck my Dexcom figures in a couple of weeks when I meet the rep again, as sounds like I may be wrong with them.
