[Diabetes-Talk] Considering changing from Dexcom G6 to the Libre...

[Debbie Wunder]

Hello Paul. I stopped wearing the Dexcom 5 after 10 months of great success.
Dexcom could not ever figure out why it was not working for me, so with
great frustration I switched to the  Libre and have truly loved it. I find
the  Libre 3 an  excellent CGM  for me..

Wishing you the very best of luck in your decision. 

Debbie

Hi all,

I like the way the Dexcom G6 works, but am becoming annoyed at it's lack of
reliability. 

The last 3 sensors have not lasted the full 10 days, with 2 lasting only 8
days, and the last one only 6 days.  Dexcom has been happy to replace them,
but I worry that one may fail when I cant get back home to change it, and
going through the understandable Dexcom questionair  on the phone each time
adds to the annoyance.  

So, 2 questions:

Is the G7 more reliable, that I might wait for that, even though Dexcom can
not advise when the G7 will be available here?  

Is the Libre system more reliable, as I tire of changing sensors more than I
should need to.

With appreciation,
Paul in Australia.
