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.
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.
