I have one because it’s what Medicaid will pay for. I don’t think I’ve had any trouble yet, but for the first month or two, I always double checked with my ReliOn Premier whenever it read too high or too low.
these CGM are very expensive because of that, and they arnt that accurate to begin with compared to a glucose strip monitor for blood because they only measure interstitial fluid and not blood.

Also, without Medicaid, the sensors would run $89 a piece, which only last 15 days.
