How Much Does a CGM Cost?

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.
