- What to know
- The hardware cost of generating CGM data for an adult not on insulin, a ceiling on what a buyer pays to create a CGM day from scratch, not a price for data that already exists. Dexcom states 77.9% of sensors lasted the full 15 days, so the cost per recorded day is somewhat higher.
- Arithmetic
- $99.00 / (2 biosensors x 15 days) = $3.30 per sensor-day. The 3-month subscription ($252.00 for 6 biosensors) is $252 / 90 days = $2.80 per sensor-day.
