[QUOTE="gerdes312, post: 205468, member: 35938"] I have used the Decom 7 plus unit now for 15 months and was really happy with it until now. When I didnt have the sensor my A1C reading was around 6.9 and my last doctor visit I had a A1C of 5.8 so it does help. Recently I found that I started getting readings that were inaccurate and found out I am at the end of the units life? I thought a simple battery replacement was all I had to do until I called Dexcom and they told me that I need to purchase a new transmitter and receiver! I feel spending 1200.00 dollars every 15 months is alot to spend on top of having to purchase the supplies needed for the unit. I wish I would of done a little more research before investing in this product my current deductable through my insurance is 2K and I have only used 200.00 dollars so far this year. So it looks like I need to either bite the bullet and spend the 1200.00 and keep using Dexcom or find another product that lasts longer then 15 months before having to being replaced. For people that have a lower deductable then 2k I feel this is an excellent product but for someone like me I think I might try something else. [/QUOTE]
