Chris Taylor replied to Rosemary Humby's discussion 'DexCom CGMS now available in UK' in the group United Kingdom Diabetics
Hi Dee, I paid $599 for all the kit. Receiver, transmitter, case, charger, software, cables etc. but I accept that they had a special deal going on at the time. £500 for just the transmitter is already $825 at the current exchange rate of 1.65, s...

Hi Dee Glad you're getting it sorted out. I'm delighted with my DexCom. It's superb. What a difference it's making to me just in the short period of time I've had it. I got it for its accuracy really, but if it ends up cheaper as well that's obv...

Dee replied to Rosemary Humby's discussion 'DexCom CGMS now available in UK' in the group United Kingdom Diabetics
Hi Chris, Just checking that when you said a new transmitter cost £500 that this is a cost that applies after you have already paid £975 for the initial Dexcom device? I was told that the actual machine costs £975. I am worried that apart from th...

I bought mine on holiday in the States last year and its the best thing I've ever bought. My repeat perscription ran out last week but I have 2 months worth of sensors left so I will ask if I can use the UK sensors with the USA receiver. If you ha...

Hello Alison Yes, I heard about this too but decided I couldn't wait. Curiously, I'm finding that having a separate receiver for the CGMS suits me quite well - it's nice and easy to read, as it's bigger than a pump screen, and I can just pull it ...

Great news, thanks Rosemary. I was speaking to an Animas pump rep on Saturday who reckoned they'd be launching a new pump integrated with Dexcom CGMS in the UK next year. I use Medtronic CGMS and pump at the moment, but it's always nice to have so...

DexCom CGMS now available in UK
Hi everyone I'm new to this list so hello! I just wanted to mention that the DexCom CGMS has very recently become available in the UK, in case people don't know. I've started on it and am finding it excellent. I used the Medtronic CGMS before. I...
