[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1523686, member: 295621"] I'm on my second Dexcom G5 sensor and had been using the Libre pretty much full time for the best part of a year prior. I switched to a true CGM due to the convenience factor when exercising (alarms when going low, predictions before going low, etc) and also because the Dexcom systems can actually work out cheaper. Expanding on the latter point, I got 25 days from my last sensor. That's 11 days more than the Libre's auto shutdown time. So basically, I'm getting a true CGM for a lesser cost. My only criticism with the G5, is that that because the transmitter/sensor is substantially larger than the Libre - I have found compression lows to be somewhat more prominent as a result. Although interestingly, the compression lows only became an issue when running the sensor past the 3 week mark. But as I'm only on my second sensor, I can't be sure if this is a common occurance.
