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.
Medtronic Simplera
The sensor to look at if you use or want a MiniMed 780G pump, because that integration is the reason it exists. As a standalone sensor the seven-day wear and two-hour warm-up make it hard to recommend over the alternatives.
