Libre 2 V Dexcom1.

[Eamon coar]

Hello, Is anyone out-there using Libre 2 and maybe thinking like me of trying Dexcom1, reason being Libre 2 nearly always start to fail me at day 9 onwards, error messages etc.graph all over the place.The dexcom 1 uses a transmittor I think instead of scanning, thought if anyone in the same boat, PS excuse the spelling, there is a Hypo looming.

I have just moved from the libre2 to dexcom1. Dexcom1 is more accurate and no scanning required. One downside, you can't record your carb and insulin intake on the dexcom1.
The dexcom1 suits me but everyone is different.

I have had the last 5 sensors die on me well before the 14 day cycle! Pain in the a$$!!

Is the inability to record carbs and insulin with the app or the reader, please? Perhaps both?

I don't use the reader but definitely can't do it with the app.
I've also noticed the app uses a lot of battery life.
