Hm, possibly? I mean, I luckily don't have diabetes and know the Libre 2 only second-hand (my Dad uses it to monitor his non-T1d). So I am not too familiar with the details, hence first of all thanks for the clarification of what that device can or much rather can not do.
However, I was under the impression that the GP [emj] was "only" considering good monitoring to improve their decision about insulin application. Not a closed loop system. But yeah, if they meant a closed loop and if the Dexcom is the cheapest option here, then the 300 US$/month is actually cheaper than the 380 US$/month you outlined.
Dexcom is the only one accurate enough to use with SMB looping. And the only one in germany that sends the glucose numbers to your phone with BLE. Libre 2 can be hacked to do the same though.
