[Diabetes-Talk] A question

Thu Apr 6 22:24:42 UTC 2023

I wonder the same thing . how is easy to use.what is the cost for it with and without insurance.so i could have  this as  a back up plan when the time comes to take a look at these different cgm  solutions as I do already have the   libre 2 and I have been happy with it for the past  few years that  I have had it. i wanted to check out both the libre 3  and the dexcom g7 and se which would be cost effective and easy to maintain out of pocket just in case there  are issues with insurance coverage as I have a  very weird coverage plan in California.its  a hyberate  plan with a combination of HMO and PPO and there are some things  that are covered and other  thing are not.it just depends.

Les,

That is great that you now have the Dexcom G7. I am anxious for my pump to become compatible with it so I can also upgrade. In the meantime, I am really anxious to know what it looks like, and feels like in comparison to the old one. I know the device is smaller and assume that the applicator is also much smaller.  Is the sensor code on the paper tabs on the sensor like it was before and is it easy to scan with a Phone app? Is it easier to insert a sensor. Would love any feedback and descriptions you can share.
Patricia
