My doctor has analyzed the FDA data and it is still not as accurate, and has many of the same features that annoyed me about the Medtronic sensor before: calibration required every 12 hours and only when the BG is stable. The suspend option doesn’t work and the graph won’t display if you don’t enter a calibration.
The sensor itself is nearly the same, and they were VERY uncomfortable before.
They do not last 1 full week, like the Dexcom does.
Just to list a few that my doc mentioned.
I am in love with my Dexcom. I am excited to see it integrated with the tandem brand in the next year or so.
