Choosing a CGM

I am on Medicare and G5 Dexcom which is expected to be upgraded to the G6 in a few weeks and then G7 next year. My Dexcom is 100% covered by Medicare. The initial package includes the transmitter, receiver, sensors, test strips, lancets, test solution, contour next meter kit. Every month Dexcom emails a form that must be filled out and returned to them certifying how many test strips, lancets and sensors you have not used. Based on that information, they send you an additional month supply of sensors, test strips and lancets. The supplies arrive Fedex a couple of days after they receive your monthly form. The whole process is quick and efficient. Approximately every 3 months, Dexcom also sends out a new transmitter.
