[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 1824026, member: 372207"] For some time now I could only order two Libre sensors at a time, once every four weeks, and no new customers accepted, due to great demand. After my last order I got a mail that my order is on hold and that they will try to deliver three weeks after my order placement. I still have a couple of spares, luckily, but I really hope they can up their production quick. I dread the thought of trying to tame my diabetes again with only finger pricks. I've had a look at Dexcom, but it looks very expensive. Libre costs me 24x60 euro's a year, = 1440 euro's. If I'm right Dexcom (G5, as 6 isn't available yet in the Netherlands) will work out as: Transmitter goes 3 months, makes 4x310=1240 euro's Sensors, supposed I can stretch their lives to 20 days or so which makes for 18 to 20 sensors a year. They are 4 pieces for 298 so I'll need 5 packages = 1490 euro's. 1490+1240=2730, give or take a bit, so about double what Libre costs. Does that seem right to you or am I missing something? [/QUOTE]
