[QUOTE="scotteric, post: 1686602, member: 453103"] I've used both of them and they have their pros and cons. I'm self funding as pump coverage in Canada (Ontario at least) is outstanding, but getting funding for a CGM is near impossible! The Libre is cheaper overall for me since the sensors last 2 weeks and there is no need to buy a transmitter. I also found I don't need the alarms as I'm extremely hypo aware and cope well with hypos, even when sleeping. The Dexcom is definitely nicer since the results are on your phone without doing anything and you can make adjustments based on the alarms to obtain better control. I found both reasonably accurate with the Dexcom being slightly more accurate by the Libre better at catching BG spikes. I like that I don't have to calibrate the Libre and I'm comfortable dosing off of it, but only because I cope really well with hypos and they are more annoying than dangerous for me. If this wasn't the case I'd go with the Dexcom hands down. [/QUOTE]
