Nutrisense Details
The real 12-month plan is $2,700 plus tax ($225/mo) - note that unlike most providers, Nutrisense's longer term costs more per month, so the 6-month rate cannot be extrapolated. 6-month is $149-152/mo depending on promo state (term total $894-1,500), 3-month $178-179/mo, 1-month $212-215/mo. The site renders promo and standard price sets simultaneously, so displayed monthly figures vary by session. Two 15-day Dexcom Stelo biosensors monthly, 1:1 dietitian coaching, Nora AI insights.
FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus Details
Now sold as the FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus: Abbott's US product page describes only the Plus, and the original 14-day Libre 3 is gone, so accuracy figures published for that earlier sensor do not carry over. Abbott publishes no cash price, so none is listed here. Abbott's only published figures are that most covered patients pay $0-$20, and that commercially insured or uninsured patients asked to pay over $75 for two sensors should use the copay card - an effective ceiling near $900/year for eligible patients. The copay card excludes Medicare, Medicaid and other federal or state programme beneficiaries. Supply is two 15-day sensors per 30-day pharmacy fill. Water resistant to 1 metre for up to 30 minutes, notably weaker than several competitors.
