Also to know is, how much does a continuous glucose monitor cost?
The monitors themselves cost from about $1000 to $1400. Some you can buy online with a prescription. CGMS need a transmitter battery so the sensors can communicate with the monitor. Depending on the model, these may need to be changed once a year or so and can cost around $500.
Which is better dexcom g6 or FreeStyle Libre?
FreeStyle Libre still requires a manual scan to view a real-time glucose value, while the G6 sends the data direct to the receiver/app via Bluetooth. For those with hypoglycemia concerns, the G6 may be a better bet. For those desiring a simpler or longer-wear system, FreeStyle Libre 14-day may be preferred.
