[QUOTE="MoonSpirit, post: 1561492, member: 137512"] Hi Tim Yes I think I understand, Dexcom too expensive in comparison to Libre based on 7 day sensor use. I'm currently self funding Dexcom and getting 20 day average use out of each sensor (second week always more accurate than week one but third week the figures are getting dodgy, but still usefull reading) To complicate things I live in Jersey which is outside the NHS, but our Jersey health department usually falls into step with whatever NHS is providing within a month or so. Now Libre is getting funding, I'm getting more hopeful that were closer to getting some sort of funding, even a small contribution towards the CGM costs would be great. I'm struggling with the ongoing costs of funding Dexcom myself, If it's going to be a long wait for Dexcom to come out with the next hopefully more cost effective version to be launched and maybe get NHS support, I will need to take a huge step back wards and move from Dexcom to Libre [/QUOTE]
