Thaks,
I will keep this and then ask.
Will call my insurance first.
We sure don't need high payments as we did with the libre.
Original message:
> Just ask your doctor for a Dexcom system; they will know what it is.
> You will wear a sensor, which is the sticky part. A transmitter locks
> onto the sensor. It is the transmitter that the app pairs with.
> If you have the G5 version, a sensor last 7 days. If you have the G6, a
> sensor lasts 10 days. With each, after changing a sensor, you have a 2
> hour set-up mode, then calibrate and it will begin reading glucose levels.
> Regardless if you have the G5 or G6, a transmitter lasts 3 months.
> But again, all you have to do is say you're interested in Dexcom; you
> don't have to know all the details. Ask for the Dexcom G6 system; I
> think the G6 will be best for you, Dar.
> There is also the receiver, but this will be completely inaccessible
> for blind users, so you will use the smart device app just like you do
> for Libre.
