[QUOTE="CarbsRok, post: 1274585, member: 14029"] G4 transmitter normally lasts at least 12 months most find it lasts 14months. G5 I think I read somewhere on the forum it lasts 100 days. Sensors you can restart after the 7 days and most people get about 21 days out of a sensor. G4 reads about 20 mins behind your actual blood sugar and I think but not 100% sure the G5 is in real time. Have you asked for a pump? If not do so and go for the Vibe as you can then use the G4 with the pump as it has a built in sensor. Or ask about the Medtronic pump as that has CGM capability as well.
