We have a couple of users including @A DiabetesTeam Member who could give a first hand review

And there is a bunch of us that use the Libre/Libre2

If you can get a CGM covered, I would wear it regardless of brand - it is a whole new way to manage - I wouldn't want to have to give up my Libre2 - I have been using Libre for a couple years straight now, off/on since 2018 and it's been so long since I "stuck my finger" the fingers can't remember how uncomfortable it is 😁

With a CGM you stop worrying about a single "number" and instead manage your Time In Range (TIR)

My Libre2 takes a reading 1440 times a day - that is a heck of a lot of "sticks"

Yes, I use it and really like it. I also use the Sugarmate app with it. Sure beats all the finger sticks.

You may be able to get a finger prick monitor and cheaper test strips from Walmart.

I love my Dexcom 7, it is so helpful knowing your glucose numbers continuously. It helps me see in real numbers and times how food affects my levels. I especially like the alarms I don’t usually have lows but the couple of times I have the alarms woke me out of sleep and I was able to address the situation. Hope this info is helpful.
