What do people make if the navigator?

I am wondering because the libre I've been told is not accessible now due to demand so my only other option is navigator or dexcom. I'd love dexcom but I can't afford it any feedback would be awesome
 
If you can't afford the Dexcom, @Fayefaye1429, then there's no way you can afford the navigator. It works out at about twice the price of the Dexcom and there's no sensor extension going on there.

Good to know!!! I got an email from them today saying it's just under 1,000 for the monitor and 250 for 6 boxes

how many sensors in each box? The sensors last for 5 days only.

Dexcom works out a lot cheaper because you can restart the sensors and use for 3 or more weeks for each one :)
 
According to the email 6 and that's what you need a month and et a discount when bought In three
 
Have you signed up for the Libre anyway? It'll be available eventually. So much cheaper and good enough.

Ah ok Dexcom sell in boxes of 4 and a box of 4 lasts me 12 weeks without any effort. so a lot cheaper in that dept.
 
So far with inserting the G4 sensors in my lower tummy and taping them with Opsite and Skintac, I am only able to get about 18 to 20 days of data on my Vibe pump. So a box of 4 would last me about 11 weeks.
Will try my upper back arm when I next insert a G4 but not sure if my arms have plenty of tissue fluid available as they are fairly slim but I can insert a 6mm steel needle set at the top back part of arm so maybe I might be ok.
