That, Andy, is one hell of a deal. I just met with a dexcom rep and she told me it was about $1100. Ahh, the power of COMPETITION!

John, I should have mentioned that this was a no-insurance price, and that I whined. A lot. The "insured" prices are absurd.

You will probably be able use the sensors for more than a week each. You might want to consider that before you agree to the automatic shipments. I typically use a sensor for at least two weeks.
Good luck

Allen, you're right. It's amazing that $315 is cheaper than $289, but in the CGM world it certainly is. Thanks.

This seems so strange to me. I called Dexcom last December to get the price of a new system. I was told that I could have a special deal because they wanted to welcom back formet Dexcom users. I had quit in 2010 because my insurance no longer covered a CGM. I was given a new Dexcom 7+ package for $519, but no sensors. A box of sensors cost me $324. There was no rebate. This was supposedly a special deal that would no longer be available after Dec 31, 2011.

Andy, you deal was better than mine. Congratulations!

Richard,
Actually the deal is the same -- Dexcom $519, sensors $324 including shipping. No firm word yet on a rebate... another user said it applies to verybody that bought right now. You can bet, though, that I'll pursue it.

Cheers!

Thanks Andy, I think my prices included shipping, and the ones you quoted did not. Do you agree?
