Bridgit, I don't know the exact number because I do have insurance which
covered part of it. But if you'd like, one of the many phone numbers I have
for Dexcom is 888-738-3646. I'm sure someone there could tell you. 
Right now I'm having trouble with the concept of only giving us one sensor
per week. Last Friday I inserted one which wouldn't calibrate after three
days. Monday's sensor died this morning so here goes another one. Sheesh! I
absolutely love the Dexcom when it works. As for tape, my hubby made me a
template so I could cut the middle out of a piece of Tegaderm. I now put the
Tegaderm over the Dexcom tape in the hope that it will last better through
showers and help me not worry about wrinkling the Dexcom tape when I put it
on. Here's hoping this sensor lasts or things could get expensive. Oh they
do replace them for free. Mostly I'm struggling with the resorting of my
life. When a sensor doesn't calibrate, you do three sticks 15 minutes apart
and then if it doesn't calibrate you change it, which means a two-hour warm
up before doing two sticks. Now, fit that into jumping out of bed and
getting out the door quickly. I'm still working on all of this. Wow! Like I
said, I love it when it works right. I really do.

Sorry, but does anyone have an idea of the out-of-pocket cost for both the
Dexcum CGM, the app and the monthly cost for sensors?
