Type 1 diabetic here: one of the reasons for changing the insertion site is because of the risk of infection / rejection. It's not just about the power requirements.

As an alternative, Eversense is a long term CGM inserted by a healthcare provider that's supposed to last a year. I've heard mixed reviews.

Speaking of mixed reviews, I have mixed feelings about non diabetics using CGMs. But if it lowers the price for all of us, then I'm on board.
