Where to buy Dexvom G7?

Are there any people here using deccom g7 sensors to measure blood glucose? If so, where do you order the sensors and what is the price per sensor? I saw some websites selling them around 90,- euro which seems much to me for a 10-day sensor

Any useful information on your experience would also be great. Are they accurate for example?
Im still on freestyle libre 3 now but considering dexcom g7 as it has the feature to stream readings straight to a smartwatch without carrying a phone.
 
I am a G7 user in New Zealand. I buy them from dexcom. As far as I know there aren't any 3rd party sellers though I guess it may be different in your part of the world?
In New Zealand they cost NZ$130 per sensor but prices may vary according to GST in your country and whether you have to pay it for a medical device.

I have used the G6 and the G7 and find the G7 usually accurate. When it isn't dexcom send me a new sensor.

If I didn't have a pump I would probably buy the dexcom ONE+ which is cheaper (NZ$95) and based on the G7.

As far as I know the streaming feature to a smartwatch only works with apple, but as I have an android phone I haven't used that facility. (I'm not sure if it works with the dexcom ONE+ )

I like the fact that you get a grace period of 12 hours when a sensor ends so if you insert but don't activate a new sensor during that time it both has time to "bed in" and also requires no warm up time when you activate it.
 
I tried the website, lots of info but no option to buy as far as i can see..(netherlands)

Update
I just made an account. Of course in the stupid netherlands you can not just decide to order it. You first have to ask your doctor and he can only prescribe it if your diabetes is managed really badly, because otherwise it wont be reimbursed. Its the same with libre 3.

Did they ever think about the possibility that people just want to buy this for theirselves even if it is not reimbursed? The system in the netherlands really sucks. People with diabetes dont have access to the newest technologies..

No one in New Zealand gets dexcom for free, not even children or pregnant women. Just hope dexcom in your area doesn't use the same captcha system as NZ to allow you to log into your account... (30 minutes of attempting to choose pictures with lorries and bikes and I still couldn't do it.) Luckily it now seems to let me buy without being logged in so I just avoid the login process.

Good luck with your investigations. (Am presuming that they are allowing you to buy after creating an account?) But I recommend ringing dexcom and speaking to a human if the website is being too unfriendly. Their customer service is good.

These captcha systems can be hell haha:)

But no there is no way for us to buy it, unless a doctor prescribes it. And he only does if you fullfill certain criteria.
The good thing is, once prescribed it will be reimbursed. But the bad thing is, if not prescribed you dont have access at all to dexcom g7 or freestyle libre 3 at all because they are considered cgm’s.

To make it more stupid, the freestyle libre 2 is a fgm and they consdider it as a huge difference to libre 3 or now dexcom g7. I have to order the fsl3 through germany becaus of the stupid rules in the netherlands..

I'm in the Netherlands and I use Libre 2 with an alternative app which turns it into a CGM.
If you're on Facebook, here's all the info on the DiaBox app: https://www.facebook.com/groups/974278412920319
There are other apps around which can do the same but I only have experience with DiaBox.
