What is the best CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitoring) Meter?

[JontyW]

I'm thinking of buying a CGM and would welcome the reviews of those who have used one for a reasonable period?

Many thanks ... Jonty

Dexcom is the best on the market, very accurate and users are able restart the sensors, which saves oodles of money.

Sorry Lucysw, but start up costs are £132..............

Yes, so start up cost is over £100. I appreciate renewal of the sensors is about £50 per go, but to start up from the beginning is £138. I know, as I've just paid out the sum to get my first Libre.....

Based on a number of comparisons I've seen, the dex and Libre are apparently comparable for accuracy and the Libre has a better algo for providing a trace. The dex has the extendable sensors though most people struggle to get more than 14 days.
