[QUOTE="MushyPeaBrain, post: 822535, member: 27914"] [USER=8799]@iHs[/USER] I'm not sure it is cheaper (according to the people who have costed it on other forums) but the problem with CGM is that once you start you can't stop - or at least it would be wasting money to do so. With libre I can take a break for several weeks if I fancy and no financial loss. With libre I don;t have to worry about trying to make the unit last longer either, which is the only way it is financially comparable. I have concerns about doing that with cgm and having site issues. Also friends and family have bought me sensors as presents as they are just about affordable as a treat and that's not something I could do with cgm! Libre is much easier insertion (I was very worried about the cgm) and much more discreet. I'm not hypo unaware so I wouldn't gain anything with Dexcom over Libre as I don't need the alarms. [/QUOTE]
