[QUOTE="slip, post: 2206128, member: 182669"] Ask 100 people their views on something and you'll probably get 100 different answers. What is it you actually want to know? I've not used the Dexcom - but I have used another proper CGM in the past, it can be good to get alarms - but it's also good that you can turn them off :joyful: Thats one thing I do like about the Libre, you can access the data as and when YOU want. Obviously if you are self funding the Libre is cheaper but you could also get it on the NHS if you're in the UK, as you can the Dexcom but the criteria is a lot stricter. Meichanski mentions the lag, technically both measure the same thing and so suffer the lag but each has it's own algorithm to deal with that and some people find one works better than the other, personally I find the libre pretty good accuracy wise.
