Hi everyone. Before leaving the hospital yesterday I made the choice to switch from the Freestyle Libre 3+ to the Dexcom G7 sensor. Part of the reason I ended up in the hospital in the first place is because half the time my Libre would say that it couldn't get a reading and it just kept saying no data available. At the moment I'm currently wearing both sensors as a comparison. So far I've gotten all the readings I've checked for with the Dexcom, but not with the Libre. I find that the Dexcom app is more friendly than the Libra app. The graph is spoken. The readings give the current number, whether it's steady, rising, or falling, and whether it's rising or falling quickly. Maybe not a complete bonus, but nice if I need to get my reading and can't work with my phone, I can ask SIRI what my level is. I can create a list of up to 10 people to share my data with, and I can choose what is and isn't shared. Also, it can connect to the health app, and has a native Apple watch app, which can be used in addition to the phone app to get readings. So if something happens to me during the night, I can get the info from my watch. I can only speak for myself, but so far I'm finding that I'm starting to prefer the Dexcom already.
