[QUOTE="Hawra1981, post: 1275639, member: 343023"] Hi Mike, Thanks a lot for that. In fact I didn't mention that I am using the Libre right now and it has helped me. But because often I am busy, by the time that I check, my BG has already reached 3 or less or even 12!! But I want the Dexcom because it alerts me before I reach those kind of levels.. I did try the Dexcom once for some 2 weeks. It was provided by my clinic for a trial and it really helped me to keep my numbers in really good ranges.. tho later the consultant told me that my numbers are very good (didn't see the need to apply for this on the NHS!) but not realizing that it was actually the devise that helped me to keep my numbers in check because I had set the alarm.. anyway now, the Dexcom G4 transmitter lasts for at least 6 months, so wouldn't that make it a better option financially than the G5 for me? Also I have heard that you can "restart" the sensor after 1 week for up to 3 weeks.. so you may be able to save some money there! [/QUOTE]
