[QUOTE="katmcd, post: 1563849, member: 380020"] Dexcom sensor is £51 each and G5 transmitter (the grey bit that clips on) is £250 and lasts 3 months officially (the software switches it off after this). Compatible phones mean you can use mobile Bluetooth for readings instead of buying the official receiving device. You don't have to change the sensor every week, you can restart it until it eventually falls off which can reduce costs. Using the xdrip+ app keeps the battery going past 3 months until it runs out. I keep my sensors on between 22 and 30 days. By using xdrip+, my transmitter is on day 169. I self fund and the alarms, especially during exercise, I find invaluable. Wouldn't be without dex if I can at all help it. [/QUOTE]
