Any experience with switching from Medtroninc CGM to Dexcom CGM

frtedpp · 2020-09-11 12:46:07

Hi, I've been T1 for 27 years and started on a Medtronic 640 pump and CGM last December, the pump has been fantastic (should have done it years ago) but I am not very happy with the sensors, between the constant requests to calibrate and the convoluted insertion/taping process. Just wondering if any one has any experience…

Hi,
I've been T1 for 27 years and started on a Medtronic 640 pump and CGM last December, the pump has been fantastic (should have done it years ago) but I am not very happy with the sensors, between the constant requests to calibrate and the convoluted insertion/taping process. Just wondering if any one has any experience of switching from the Medtronic CGM to the Dexcom and if so was it a relatively easy process, were the HSE helpful and which version of the Dexcom is available on the LTI.

Thanks
