Ordering supplies is similar to ordering Libre sensors from Abbott.If you use the G5 with your mobile phone, then there is no need for a receiver (the reader) at all. If you decide you want to use a receiver, then it's a one off purchase and you can keep reusing that with every sensor.Note that the biggest expense with the G4 and G5 are the transmitters. Annual costs for the G5 will be somewhere in the range of £600-£800 depending on what app (official Dexcom/xDrip+) you decide to use.Have a look at the suggestion I made here to help keep the Libre stuck down:<a href="http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/sports-with-libre-freestyle.125239/#post-1537255" target="_blank">http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/sports-with-libre-freestyle.125239/#post-1537255</a>Hope that helps<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
