minus-squarejust_another_person@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·9 months agoI thought Senseonics had a leg up on Dexcom. They’re due a ruling on their 365-day implant any time now.
minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·9 months agoThey might, I’ve only had FreeStyle and Dexcom. FreeStyle was all over the place. One sensor might be +100 too high or -100 too low. No calibration. Dexcom is occasionally off, but easy enough to fix with a calibration reading. A 365 day meter would be cool. It gets tiring swapping every 10 days.
