How Much Does a CGM Cost?

Your wellness goals are uniquely yours, but reaching them on your own isn't always easy or sustainable. Whether your goal is weight loss, enhanced athletic performance, or simply understanding your glycemic control, a CGM can help you biohack your way to better wellness.

But, these sensors can be costly, and CGM device prices often differ depending on the provider and length of your plan. The cost of CGM programs vary from $134 to $399 per month and include a shipment of 2 CGMs every month throughout the duration of your subscription.

Some companies may require a yearly subscription fee, even if you only intend to use a CGM for one month. So, you’ll want to decide whether or not a long-term subscription or a shorter, no-commitment plan is better for you and your wellness goals. Regardless of your provider, the cheapest CGM programs typically require a long-term commitment of up to 12 months.

No matter what plan you choose, navigating the data provided by your CGM and making the most out of your plan can seem overwhelming at first. That’s why it’s important that you have the support you need through your journey.
