Dexcom ONE+
Dexcom’s value sensor, and the cheapest route to alarms we have found. Worth comparing on yearly cost rather than sensor price, because ten-day wear closes most of the gap to the fifteen-day Abbott sensors.
FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus
The value choice in Abbott’s range. You give up some alarm range and the newest sensor hardware, and you keep the same fifteen-day wear for about £104 a month privately.
