Why did you switch to Dexcom G6?

"Making the jump to Dexcom G6 from the FreeStyle Libre 2 was the best decision I made for my diabetes management. With the ability to check my glucose levels from my smartphone^|| and share my data with my spouse,^{¶, #}my A1C has never been better.”

Stephanie Weaver, age 27,

Type 1 diabetes

Why did you switch to Dexcom G6?

"I used the Freestyle Libre 2 for over a year. It had many wrong readings, so my endocrinologist recommended I use Dexcom G6. I liked that I could use my Phone^|| and receiver at the same time. Not needing to scan the device is far more convenient for me.”
