[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1777142, member: 41816"] I have also rung, and had an interesting conversation with Medtrum. I encouraged them to remove their Test Order page from public view (!!!) and was thanked for my feedback. lol! Also established that the £145 offer Tim mentioned above is available, where you get one sensor and one transmitter. Buying a sensor separately is £35 Buying a transmitter separately is £225 (rechargeable and with a year's warranty) So the deal they are offering is a significant saving on the separate purchases, but too steep for my pocket for a 7 day CGM trial. One other interesting factoid is the 7 or 14 day usage mentioned above. I asked about this and she explained that each sensor will only last for 7 days (half the life of a Libre sensor). However, you can choose whether the transmitter will run for 7 or 14 days. She didn't go into detail, but I suspect it is the amount of charge it is given, whether it will last for one or two sensors. Useful for a 2 week hol, I suppose, rather than taking the charging equipment. Back to watching Tim's updates. I am very curious to see whether the Medtrum varies in accuracy over the life of the sensor, because that is exactly what happens to me, with the Libre, which is most accurate between days 3 and 13 of the sensor life. Days 1-2 and 14 are a bit erratic for me. If the same thing happened on a 7 day Medtrum sensor, then I think that would significantly reduce its usefulness to me. [/QUOTE]
