[Diabetes-Talk] Problems with dexcom, looking for info on FreeStyle Libre.

[Greg Wocher]

Hello,
In a lot of ways the Dexcom system is better than the Freestyle. Right now I am using the freestyle system because it is easier to get and a whole lot cheaper than Dexcom. The Dexcom systems apps are a bit more accessible and it is easier to share your results with your doctor. The application of the Freestyle is a lot easier than the Dexcom. The dexcom is also a bit more accurate than the Freestyle. Readings on the Freestyle seem to be a bit more off at the upper and lower ends.
