[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1687119, member: 374531"] They sure have got longer with xdrip+! It was the cost of replacing the transmitters which kinda put me off dexcom, but there's an interesting thread from some tech geeks at the link below getting 180 to 190 days out of G5 transmitters by running it to xdrip+ instead of the official dexcom app. Looks like the g5 transmitter carries on transmitting quite happily after the "official" period runs out: it's the "official" g5 app which is coded to just ignore it. Whereas xdrip+ just says, no, happy to continue receiving till the battery run outs. Interesting program, xdrip+.
