Dexcom VS FreeStyle Libre VS Medtronic CGM

Steady Health diabetes clinic compares and displays the insertion of three different continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) brands: Dexcom G6 (2:13), FreeStyle Libre (4:23), Medtronic (9:33). Our endocrinologist, Dr. Calvin Wu, gives a short intro on CGM and gives a comparison.

I think Abbot freestyle BG readings are every 5 minutes or at least in version 2 they released last year. It also now has alarms for both low and high levels

I am using blucon NR for last 1 year with freestyle libre sensor and it works great. It gives me every 5 minute updates on sugar readings. It alerts me when my sugar goes high or low. i can see real time effect of diffrent foods on my sugars.

I am using Libre sensor and Blucon device. According to me these products are very helpful for my diabetes and with the help of Blucon device I check my readings on watch directly without the phone.

very nice video. I liked the way you demonstrate all the CGMs. I'm using Blucon with Libre sensor and this combination gives me all the features of Dexcom in a very less price.

[justiciaverdadera]

libre sensor is about 60 to 100 points off compared to a regular glucometer.

[kathymckittrick]

I have the libree 2 and it alarms with low or high blood sugar

[deepakmishra]

Libre is economical than Dexcom. I'm using FSL with Ambrosia's Blucon and gets reading every 5 minute even without scanning the sensor. It gives alarms and we can connect it to watch as well.

before sticking on arm no need to clean the portion with alcohol swab?

[LogicallyOffensive]

What do you think about Senseonics? Their accuracy, price, and potential to have a 180 day sensor? Thank you for your time

[amycurtisslepica]

Libre sounds good but lacks alot of features. Hope they release updates soon. They should of not went to the market so soon

[paulfrantzis]

Wrong-you can get updated readings from the libre every 5 minutes

[johndavedepedro]

Do you need to remove it when you take a bath?

[thesultanmerchant]

there are some steps need very close focusing of exhibiting dexcom monitor rather then exhibiting from distance and must explain every parts of it very precisely.

[kaddiddlehopper]

After watching these, why does anyone go for the medtronic one? It seems unnecessarily complicated.

[thesultanmerchant]

inserting transmitter is also not clear and need close up focusing

[Andrew-djwd]

The power of a Dexcom's $5.5 million Super Bowl commercial giving exposure to Continuous Glucose Monitoring:
DXCM $411
- Dexcom
SENS $3.50 - Senseonics with a 100 X runway

Eversense CGM is way better, 90 days working.
Bought 50, 000 stocks of SENSE…beat all competitors

You missed a few crucial steps showing this.
