No more CGMS
May 05, 2008
I don't have any more Dexcom sensors, and I'm not in a hurry to order any more.
They are very expensive -- basically $240 a month and are a pain to keep going, even as long as 7 days.
I might get another receiver and another set of sensors and try out the system with my own meter, but not even sure I'll do that. Having to keep up with an insulin pump, the receiver, and my phone has proved to be too much several different days. So far, the insulin pump hasn't gotten left behind but everything else has.
I don't like the insertation pain. Yeah it's not a big deal but worse than putting in a set.
But the biggest issue IS the cost. And even if insurance would pick it up, they are currently out of network so it would still be $120.00 a month.
