Does anyone know please how long the Dexcom lasts before it needs replacing and if it has to be completely replaced. I've had mine for 17 months and as I'm not working I won't be able to replace the whole thing. I can only afford the sensors from time to time as " treats" but thought it would be good to use them as I get used to the pump. All comments very appreciated

Not to sure Amanda, think one part lasts 18 mths and the other part 3 or 4 years.
Best bet is to ring Advanced T and ask them though.
 
Thanks Sue that was my thinking about the length of time. I will phone them and check
