Are use the Librelink and I have no problems with it at all. Dicks come does have an extra transmitter, but everything is built in to the sensor on the other. I do miss the ability to sync the numbers, as sometimes it can be many points off. I tested, when I first put it in. After the hour layover. When it’s ready, I get its number, and a blood test number. And I can pretty will tell where it’s going to be the whole 14 days I have it. I don’t like having to have the extra transmitter For the next game. Sometimes tests come about in the oddest places. :-) But, from what I can tell, from what my diabetologist says, it’s a matter of preference. So, which ever one works on your phone, or you’re comfortable with, it’s what you should use. The Librelink does not have alarms within the sensor. Perhaps they will add them at some point. Just my opinions
