Hello everyone, I have read you with interest.
I can tell you one thing, I am a Dexcom user for 2 years (mine was already coming from the USA), and I have been born again, my life before was, at the diabetic, painful-dreary, daily hypoglycemia, beastly bounces, I don't followNo "reasonable" guideline, neither schedules, nor ... (each one is a world, and I would not like them to judge me or judge anyone).
Since I have the Dexcom I live in more than good conditions, of 2-3 daily hypeglycemia (and when I did not have them, I did not go from 300 logically) I have passed to 2-3 to month!I have come to overcome 9 before, it is around 7 (and I honestly do nothing, I still do the same, I can go from schedules, meals, etc ...).
I understand that there are people who live very neatly and carry their diabetes very well, but those who are in my situation (total lack of control for whatever, etc ...), I can tell you that it is salvation, or for me it has been(I can tell you that before starting with the Dexcom, I was assigned 10 -diez- daily reactive strips, and spent them!)
Gondurulo, I have read you, and I assure you that the device is impressive.
The worst, the money, the cost ... is an absurd "mortgage", or worse, a "drug" because the day I cannot pay - and there are not very bollantes - I will return to a life system that does notIt was life, really, you have to live it to know how bad one can be, and how life changes.
The SS is covering it, you will already give more data, because of course - and everyone looks at theirs, of course - in my case I have justified it (I insist, I have authorized 10 daily reactive strips to "try" to control it, avoid hypos, etc.And with those strips, 2 in 2 they gave me the hypos, that is, imagine).
Greetings and I hope this is economizing, I think the Dexcom already has more than amortized, it is not a receipt than a transmitter that lasts year and little, costs 700 and peak euros.As you have calculated here, the joke goes to 3000 and peak long euros a year, that is, 350 euros per month of spending, which is a buried (although spending 10 daily strips, "consumption" of the SS 250 euros, and nowI have the HBA to 7, and before I went from 9, I think it compensates for him, come on, it is more "economical" although not cheap)
all the best
