Do you put any patches over your CGM? I've got some that supposedly last 15 days.

Tastermonial includes one with each sensor.
I was using one but there was a wrinkle on one edge, which got caught by the washcloth and yanked off.
Had it been flat I'm sure it wouldn't have happened.
At least it's not a needle in your skin, just a tiny flexible fiber, so even getting ripped out doesn't do any damage.

Stelo is perfect for non-diabetics. 6 15-day sensors are $252. Stelo app can data sync with API's like Apple HealthKit, which keeps all the data points forever, whereas most of the apps do not. Libre has no automatic data syncing. No prescription makes it easier for sure. Don't forget to use your FSA/HSA for tax free buying.
Keep in mind Libre scans glucose levels every minute. Stelo is every 5 minutes. Stelo also won't return values under 70, just tells you its below 70.

If you're on a tight budget, check out Aidex 2 it comes out to around $60/month. I've got both Aidex 2 and Libre 2 plus on the way, so I'll be able to compare them soon. But from everything I've read online, they give very similar readings.

that app is def gone from the app store, but the customer service on Sus-Wel will walk you through then process on how to get around it.
i have been able to get them from the Sus-Wel link posted earlier. you might need some back and forth with their CS, but they’ll ship. they are not 6 for $258 anymore, but even at $45 a pop, i still find them a value.

I just found that Amazon has rhe Abbott Lingo on sale for 40% off if you subscribe to their CGM’s. the discount brings it down to about $27.00 per and you can cancel at any time.
i’m happy with the LinX, but at almost $20 more expensive, i’m going to give the Lingo a try. plus it arrives Amazon same day.

There aren't many CGM options here in the EU, or they're ridiculously expensive. Just got these two in the mail for $30 each, let's see how accurate they are and how the app performs.
Shipping took one week from China.
If they're accurate enough, they'll become a permanent tool in my toolbox.

Incredible $30 per sensor deal on the Freestyle Libre 3 Plus if you're a Costco member (may be worth joining if not lol). I've written up step by step directions and included the discount card needed to get the $30 price (which may vary slightly from state to state). Next best price I can find right now is $70/sensor.
For the prescription, you can use Sesamecare (or your doctor if they're cooperative, many are for CGMs). As a costco member it's $29 for an Sesamecare appointment. Tell them your family has a history of diabetes and you want to optimize glucose control for overall health.
Make SURE they prescribe the Libre 3 PLUS.
To get this price you have to tell Costco pharm you're a member, who's a cash payer with a discount card. Do not try to run it through your insurance.

Does your insurance cover Dexcomm?
Mine covers the 10d Dex fully without p.a.
The 15d Dex is FDA approved but not out in the market yet. I'm assuming it'll be the same as the 10d, in which case it will be fully covered.
I'm just using this in the interim whilst i wait.

As far as I know even the best insurance plans only cover CGMs if you have diabetes, although you can use FSA or HSA to pay for them.

The price quote tool might not be updated then.
Guess i'll find out when i try to purchase after the 15d dex comes out.
Libre costs me nothing with no PA. Don't have the best insurance plan. Don't have diabetes, either.

I just got some from tastermonial, but I'll keep this in mind if I get more. I take it the Levels app is your preference for getting insights from the data? Thanks!

This company seems to have awful shipping.
My order was supposedly broken up due to shortage issues, they were supposed to ship me a couple first and the rest later. Either way none has shipped
Are they shipping from China or something?

Mine arrived in a week, shipped domestically. Sounds like they're out of stock.

For the annual sub, it's $199.
Instead of signing up for a $40 month to try it out, if you sign up for a year, you can cancel within 30 days for a full refund (set a reminder lol).
Best deal i could put together was roughly 25% off by stacking these 2 offers.
Search for Huberman Lab sponsors and there's a referral link on that page that will get you two months for free, so that's 14 months for $199.
When checking out, put in coupon code Roland10 in for another 10% off (works as of now, have no idea how long it's valid for), which makes it $179 for 14 months or $12.78 / month.
Also, the Costco Libre 3 Plus deal is working out at $225 for 6 sensors depending on your state. $37.50 per sensor is still an awesome price.
