[QUOTE="Platinum, post: 468899, member: 91091"] I have completed the VAT exemption form so don’t pay tax on the sensors. I have tried to get the sensors for a lower cost, but have had no luck. Do your Animas sensors last longer than seven days? I chose the Dexcom for its accuracy and the fact that the sensors usually last for longer than seven days, so felt it was the most cost effective CGM. I know what you mean about the CGM not being used – Every seven days I have to tell the CGM that a new sensor has been inserted (Even if one has not been and I am just reusing) and it takes two hours to reset - during this time I can’t use it – I also feel really worried about my BM’s during this time. Before I bought it I planned to use it to stabilise things and then leave for a week or so; but now I really would not be without it – CGM should be mandatory for all pumpers! When your BM’s were fluctuating, how much help did your DSN give you? Mine has told me that what I have is a good as it gets? [/QUOTE]
