So I have used both Dexcom and Libre and I do agree with Dave’s assessment that the Dexcom is more accurate, particularly when compared to a 90 day blood work analysis as the basis. I do think because Abbott is into so many avenues of medical care and research, I think that they could be the better company to bet on especially if we see technology blending where technology meant for one disease is used in other diseases and general health, like continuous monitoring. When they create one for blood pressure that’ll be the next technological leap forward.

(As an aside, the Medicare & Medicaid programs prefer Dexcom to Libre because Dexcom still provides a reciever unit with its latest version where the Libre Freestyle 3 dropped it assuming everyone will have a smartphone. That’ll be fixed by the time the next iteration is released.)
