Decom one+ vs Libre 3 accuracy

Hi,
I was diagnosed with T2 in January thus year.
I've been using libre 3 CGM for the last 6 months (self funded)
I switched to a decom one+ in the last couple of weeks, running it alongside the libre 3 . I plan to switch over as I can save about £40 per month on sensors.
I expect to see a small difference between the 2 cgms but I have found the decom to be quite different compared the readings with a finger prick test.
I have applied the finger prick as a calibration in the dexom software a number of times.
I have found dexcom to be significantly over the finger prick sometimes and sometimes noticeably under.
Another issue is that I see "brief sensor issue" a number of times - certainly more frequently than libre 3.

Have others experience of the accuracy and reliability of the dexcom one+
I look forward to gaaring of other people's experiences - particularly if you've used both.
 
Not used the libre3, only the 2. Also self funded. I found the 2 fairly accurate in the mid ranges but erratic for highs/ lows.
I use dexcom1+ because it’s cheaper on subscribe.
Out of nine sensors only one was erratic and I didn’t feel I could trust its numbers. The others have been very accurate compared to my t2 meter.
 
Thanks, that is encouraging.
I will persevere a little longer.
