Prescription is required: http://www.dexcom.com/faq/do-i-need-prescription-obtain-dexcom-g5-mobile http://www.dexcom.com/faq/do-i-need-prescription-obtain-dexc... My "extremely expensive" was unfair. Some quick searching suggests ~$650 for the transmitter ~$100/week for sensors. "Not cheap" would be more accurate.

No, $5000+/year is definitely "extremely expensive," and out of reach for the majority of Americans. (Particularly as it seems very unlikely that there's any actual technical need for replacing the sensor weekly.) Don't let the fact that lifesaving treatments are often even more unaffordable shift your frame of reference.
