Freestyle Libre 3 is now available in the US. But is it any good compared to Dexcom G6? Is it worth making the switch to a smaller sensor?

I’ve been wearing the Dexcom G6 sensor for years, and now I got my hands on a Freestyle Libre 3 sensor, so I decided to wear both at the same time to make a side-by-side comparison and give you the download.

This is my opinion on both systems, and it’s based on my experience wearing both sensors at the same time. I ranked each system on 12 different criteria and the winning system is the one I prefer… can you guess which one it is?

Please let me know if you’d like to add anything to this comparison, did I leave something out that you want to discuss? Let me know in the comments and we can add more criteria and color to the comparison.
