[Diabetes-Talk] Which of the two accessible CGM is better and why? Getting ready to meet with my doctor about re-authorizing a CGM.

I would suggest that you stay with the Free Libra.

It should work with iOS 18.1 and if you are upgrading your phone it should
work fine with the iPhone 16 series.

Getting ready to meet with my doctor about re-authorizing a CGM.
Importance: High

Hello everyone this question has probably been asked on list before. But
since I I am about to have that meeting with my primary position, meeting
time to decide which CGM I'm going to use for the next three years, I think
it's time to just at least look at the pros and cons of both accessible
systems.

I'm currently using the Leber 3 System. In my specific situation, I'm
finding that the readings are at least 20 to 25 points off the standard
stick test. So of course I just have to do math most of the time. Although
this isn't a big issue it can be somewhat annoying sometimes. I know many
people on this list use the other system, Dex com. What are the advantages,
and more potential disadvantages of potentially switching? Note I am not on
insulin, and I'm trying to. And we all think that my diabetes is stable
meaning I have very good control. Broccoli 6.4 entrance of A1 c.

I hope this is not considered TMI on list? It is certainly not a scientific
study and or even scientifically based, I'm just seeking some information.
Just to make an informed choice if I need to make one? I'm likely to just
stay with what I am using being asked my doctor to continue using what I'm
using for another three years. Any thoughts?
