I did a pretty good comparison of the Dexcom versus Libre on
Choosing a CGM
Costs
I don’t know the new Libre costs but as of last December…
The Libre reader was under a deal at Walgreens for $65, and now I am being offered a free new reader to change to the new sensor/ The sensors were $25 each, (old 10 day ones)with no insurance at Walgreens.
Whoa the Dexcom!
Mine I got free, but it was unknown if I had a copay at first so I got the original receipts. Total retail was $2800.00 for the reader, 1 transmitter and 9 sensors. I forget the breakdown.
But Costco has deals with no insurance on the transmitters, I think they were a pretty good deal and maybe the reader and the sensors I think were $70 each??
Someone on here should have more information about the Costco thing.
But they are wonderful, instead of finger sticking, you just look at your reader 50 times a day if you want, it gives you a much better understanding of what your sugars do. If Medicare won’t pay for yours, the libre really is worth it for it’s price, but it has more variance to it, but you can download some aps that gives you alarms and helps calibrate it.
The first person also mentions medicare paying for it.
