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 Details
