Message: <blockquote data-quote="wes.w" data-source="post: 2643258" data-attributes="member: 577369">This NFC only for the Libre would have been a problem for me, as I have chronic fatigue and sleep for 10-12 hours at nights. Having to do a scan within a couple of inches of the sensor at least every 8 hours means readings would be lost, although I see now that bluetooth was added to the Libre2 only a month ago . Fortunately the Libre 2 wasn't compatible with with my phone model since their update around the beginning of this year (Samsung Galaxy A13), so my consultant changed my prescription to Dexcom 1, which works on bluetooth and needs to be within about 6 metres from the sensor. And it hasn't been highlighted here, but the Dexcom transmitter part is supposed to last for 90 days. The Dexcom can be arm or midriff fitted - I use the latter - and a good friend of mine who is T1 and on a Libre pointed out that sensors falling off had been a problem for him, including having one ripped off from behind by a child when he was wearing a short sleeved teeshirt.So the number of factors you need to take into account when deciding which CGM to use only increase the deeper you look!</blockquote>
